  1. so i sent an ocean lander to eve, i did it in about 45 minutes real-time. while on a collision course with the planet, at about 400km up, i noticed there wasn't ice caps at the poles. i know this because the thing touched down near the south pole. the wiki said the minimum temperature on eve is -40.19, i think this is in celsius because i tried it on kerbin's poles. therefore there should be ice somewhere on eve assuming the oceans are water. i think they're water because the only other alternative is that they're rocket fuel. they can't be, as i am explaining. irl, at sunrise/sunset the sky is purple because there's more air for the light to pass through horizontally. on eve the pressure is higher and so this effect is also in daytime. 5 atm=2.24 times the air for light to pass through (from google) so the purple sunset effect can be seen at daylight there, like the more air at sunset irl on earth. so the atmosphere must be kerbinlike. if it is, there is at least 1 atm of oxygen mixed in to the air, which means there would have been a fire sometime in the planet's past. a fire with rocket-fuel oceans would mean the planet should have had exploded already. but it didn't so it's not rocket fuel. water's the next most obvious thing, so it's likely that. if it is water, there should be polar caps, because it is apparently below zero at the poles, but there aren't. can anyone explain this to me?
  2. what about new planets we need new planets and an end goal for the game
  3. if we could float the rocket on balloons to the ~1atm level or higher it could ascend like a normal ssto
  4. Is reentry damage to be toggleable? Also, Squad, please make a 3.75m docking port and MOAR PLERNERTS.
  5. i had a docked lander+tug in lko. the docking ports are the 2.5 meter ones. it came back from minmus using the tug, which was orbiting minmus. when i undocked the lander in lko to land it on kerbin, its fuel tanks were empty because the tug had used its fuel. is there a way to counteract this? also, is there a way to transfer fuel between docked ships? i had to send another lander to rescue the kerbals. it was a lot of wasted time for me. thx
  6. a neptune equivalent, with a titan-like moon, and more dwarf planets (between jool and the neptune analogue, inside mono's orbit, etc.) also, a way to go inside the planets and moons. like drilling to oceans underground on minmus, vall, eeloo and stuff. tylo should be made more icy, and have an underground ocean. and parts for weather balloons (like atmosphere colonies), electric propellers for planes and submarines. laythe should have some kind of life seeing as it has oxygen, which is ridiculously reactive and must be continually replenished. i mean like sea plants and stuff. vall shouldn't exist, it should have been gravity-assisted into kerbol orbit a long time ago. i suggest it to be made into a dwarf planet. give eeloo geysers, and minmus and vall. jool needs rings, maybe put them where vall was.
  7. what are all the launch sites in rss? is there one on each continent?
  8. Spent an hour and a half launching a rover to Laythe. On descent, after the parachutes opened, I noticed something strange about it: https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=sites&srcid=ZGVmYXVsdGRvbWFpbnxtdXNocm9vbTIwMDZzb3RoZXJ0aGluZ3MxfGd4OjczZmQ1ODYyNGExNWQ2MmU Look at the wheels. The little ones that don't touch the ground, and that only exist on one side. Laughed for like five minutes when I noticed it. EDIT: Just looked at my Duna rover and found out I had done the same thing and didn't notice. I think every rover of that make and model in the Kerbol system has two extra midget wheels now.
  9. Minmus. Low g, close to home. Also easily traversable because it is small. I have heard people say not to drive rovers on Minmus, but I have and it's fine.
