A Prototype for Cantab. (100x Scale Kerbin)

[Whirligig Girl]

Cantab has expressed a want to build a 10x scale Earth. So here's a 100x scale kerbin, quickly just smashed together from my Jumbo32 config. First person to reach orbit gets several delicious cookies* and also +rep.

Even though it's from my 3.2x config, I made sure Kerbin itself is 100x stock scale, so about the same size as 10x scale Earth. Atmosphere height has not changed from 3.2x.

*Metaphorical cookies, of course.

Also, as it happens, you need about 34.2 km/s delta-v to orbit, according to my calculations. (10km/s times (sqrt 10)) That's about 10 times stock delta-v to orbit!

So yeah, I'm considering it as a sort of insane hard mode system. I tried an enlarged Earth myself, a few pics posted in the http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/29533-What-did-you-do-in-KSP-today/page1234 thread.

I don't have a particular preference for an Earth-based or Kerbin-based version, though my thinking is Earth-based would be preferable for terrain detail.

I feel my config is too glitchy for release atm. Once I get something that doesn't half bury the launchpad or give you 4 km/s before you even take off I may start a new thread releasing the config. Also got an idea or two for the other planets.

Just to show what you're in for: Cheats! To orbit.

I had to use InfinteFuel for the last 2 km/s or so delta-v.

How about start a bit smaller for a hard mode, with 500% rescaling of Earth. This would make it 5 times, not 10 times bigger. Considerably less glitchy.I'd try messing around with some other RSS features inside a known Stock-Kerbol config like 64K or Jumbo32 to figure out what some of the things do.

Why climb the half-highest mountain? Why ford the half-widest river?
