    Biomes for Jool

    As it stands right now, Jool itself is a pretty dull place to explore.  There's just nothing there; if you've been one place, you've been everywhere.  Maybe you dip into the upper atmosphere (or low enough to be "flying") to get a science sample, but you do it only once, and you can do it anywhere because everywhere's the same.

    Suggestion:  Give Jool some biomes of its own.  For example:

    • Equatorial Cloud Belts
    • Tropical Cloud Belts
    • Mid-Latitude Cloud Belts
    • Polar Cloud Belts
    • Great Green Spot (to be accompanied by an appropriate texture update)

    The Spot would be a big oval located somewhere mid-latitude.  The others would just be continuous belts running around the planet's circumference, delineated by latitude lines.

    Still no surface science, of course, since there's no surface... but there would be "flying at <biome>" and "upper atmosphere over <biome>" and "space just above <biome>," etc.

    This would make Jool a more interesting place to visit in its own right, not just as a big gravity well that happens to hold interesting moons to visit.

    Wasn't there a custom biomes mod way back that did essentially this?
