Again, you should make a quick Kopernicus mod to see if it will work. Maybe use Principia to simulate the n-body changes. Who's to say two of them didn't get sucked up by Laythe's gravity?

Maybe you could make a quick Kopernicus mod of it? Two identical 20-km bodies, one slightly above the synchronous orbit radius (21,010.46 km from Jool's Center of Mass), the other slightly below? A ring between them would maybe be nice.

I wonder if we'd be able to maybe make 2? One that orbits closer to Jool than it spins, and one slightly outside that limit?

Touché. (You keep using that word. I don't think you know what it means.) (Inconceivable!)

Who says you have to orbit it? You could maybe make a really close pass during a flyby mission, if you so desire.

Couldn't find the density for that, but A4 paper would work just fine. So... d = 1.26(RM) * (ρM/ρm)1/3 ρM is Jool's density, 4,678.7272... kg/m3 ρm is the small moon's density, 1,201 kg/m3 RM is Jool's radius, 6,000 km. 4,678.7273 / 1,201 = 3.9706; 3.97061/3 = 1.5835. 6,000 * 1.26 = 7,560 km. 7,560 * 1.5835 = 11,791.26 km from Jool's center of mass. So really, "Joolmalthea" couldn't orbit anywhere closer than a little less than 1 Jool radius above Jool's cloud tops.

How dense would "Joolthea" be?

Gyazo.

Why not add some more comets with this pack? One or two short-period comets could be a nice touch.

1. Ah, I see. 2. Maybe you could make it a really dark moon? One that would almost be indistinguishable from the skybox? And maybe it could even be in a 1:2:4:8 resonance with Laythe, Vall, and Tylo. A quadruple conjunction could be a cool thing! 3. I don't use it yet, but I think I will when I get KSP (and Steam) on my computer.

Would Aeumha have rings in the next update? Would you also add a Callisto analogue to Jool? Also, would this be compatible with Realistic Rescale?

Happy Halloweeeen! What's new for SPE?

We should probably make the "few bodies" Eve, Moho, Duna, Ike, Jool, Sarnus (if OPM is installed), Mün, and Minmus. The progression of discovery could go like this (with OPM and RevSSS): Tylo, Laythe, Vall, Slate, Eeloo, Tekto, Urlum, Dres, Neidon, Bop, Pol, Plock, Karen, Wal, Gilly, Gobe, Ameli, Kev, Rimos, Mix, Hale, Ovok, Polta, Priax, Thatmo, Nissee, Tal.

Where would Mix orbit, should we install OPM? Would it orbit around Sarnus, Plock-Karen, or Neidon? Speaking of which, why not have Proteus and Larissa analogs for Neidon?

Oh hi.

Xenon, if you're there, please make sure to make Alu orbit Sarnus for an OPM change. Or make it a separate dwarf planet.

This thread is dead, to say the least.

Boop

Addition of OPM and IPM, Jool System Tweaks and Eve System Revamp Lite, Xen's Planet Collection, and some bodies from my system concept (Usta, around the Sun near Dres, Klip, a Callisto analog around Jool, Cobb, a Proteus analog around Neidon, Onor/Yuppo, an NKO, and Naal, a Haumea analog past Plock-Karen.) Oh wait I forgot about End Also, the parts from the NecroBones Suite, and DMagic Orbital Science.

(Halfway to Villia...) Jebediah: Alright...ATONE? ATONE: Yes, Jebediah. Jebediah: Progress to Villia? ATONE: We have traveled approximately halfway to Villia. Just a moment...congratulations, we have just reached the halfway point to Villia. Jebediah: Up for a game of chess? ATONE: Certainly, Jebediah. (Hayene is sitting idly by, observing each and every one of their moves.) Jebediah: (observing the board, the middle two pawns moved up; the one on the left by one, the one on the right by two) Okay...b4. ATONE: c5. Jebediah: xc5. ATONE: Very good strategy. (a little bit of silence) Nc6. Jebediah: Interesting...Nf3. ATONE: That will get you nowhere. f5. Jebediah: h4. ATONE: I see...f4. Jebediah: Rh3. ATONE: Nice use...Nd4. Jebediah: Nxd4. ATONE: Nice job. xd4. Jebediah: And there's the answer... (places hand on forehead in frustration) xd6. ATONE: How many times...Qxd6. Jebediah: And already you pull out your queen...h5. Hayene: Interesting... ATONE: Qa6. Jebediah: Bxf4. ATONE: Qxc2. Jebediah: Na3. ATONE: Qxc3. Jebediah: Qd2. ATONE: Qc1. Check. Jebediah: Qxc1. Negated. ATONE: Interesting move...Bxh3. Jebediah: (look of amazement on his face) Um...xh3? ATONE: Ba3. Jebediah: Qxa3. Hayene: So...no more bishops for you, ATONE... ATONE: Ne7. Jebediah: Hm...castle; Kc1, Rd1. ATONE: Very good. Hold on...a5. Jebediah: Qxa5. ATONE: Rxa5. Jebediah: c4...I guess. ATONE: En passant. c3, xc4. Jebediah: B...e2? ATONE: c2. Jebediah: Kxc2. ATONE: Interesting move. Ra2. Check. Jebediah: Kc3. Negated. ATONE: Rd2. Jebediah: Almost sounds familiar...Kc4. ATONE: b5. Jebediah: Kxb5. Hayene: English, please? ATONE: Not now, Hayene. We are playing chess. (thinking) g5. Jebediah: En passant. g6, xg5. ATONE: xg6. Jebediah: Bh5. ATONE: xh5. Jebediah: Bh6. ATONE: Rxd1. Jebediah: Kc5. ATONE: Nd5. Jebediah: Kxd5. Hayene: So...it's down to four... ATONE: Kg8, Rf8. Jebediah: Hm...great strategy. (thinking) Um...Bxf8. Hayene: And Jebediah is going for the check... ATONE: h4. Jebediah: The war between pawns...perfect strategy. d4. ATONE: xd4. Mate. Jebediah: (hands off chessboard, doesn't question analysis) ATONE: Good game, Jebediah. Would you like to play another. Jebediah: Nah. I...I have work to do. ATONE: Okay, Jebediah. Happy trails. Hayene: Can I play some chess? ATONE: Sure. (a chessboard appears, set up just like the game with Jebediah at first) Hayene: Okay...um... (scratches head) f3? ATONE: e6. Hayene: I guess...g4? (shrugs) ATONE: Qh4. Mate. Hayene: Well, that was ridiculously short! ATONE: You could probably use a little bit more practice. Hayene: Oh ATONE, where is your mind? ATONE: I will not tell you. Hayene: Okay...very justifiable? ATONE: Alright. Hold on...there is a fault within the thermometer. Would you like to go check it? Hayene: Um...I guess so. I wouldn't mind. ATONE: It is on the science module, just as a reminder. Hayene: Okay...I'll look around for it. (Hayene gets into Alice, and goes out to explore the thermometer. She opens the pod doors...jetpacks over to the thermometer...) Hayene: It's poorly glued on... (She tries to flip the lid to examine the mercury within it...) Hayene: What the... (The thermometer is flying off into space. The pod is flying sideways.) Hayene: Ugh...oh come on! (retrieves the thermometer first, and then gets back into the pod.) (She opens the hatch for the pod. She gets in and holds the thermometer firmly in her hand.) (The pod is drifting further away from EVE I...faster...faster...faster...) Hayene: NO! (tries to thrust further forward, but the speed only stagnates rather than slowing down) (The backward thrust slowly dies down...) Hayene: ATONE! ATONE: Yes, Hayene. Hayene: I think the pods are malfunctioning. ATONE: Malfunctioning...you would have to look into that. Hayene: I have to get back to the ship and it's driving me away! ATONE: Try thrusting forward. Hayene: It's moving toward me... ATONE: Then there is no issue. Hayene: Okay. Over. ATONE: Over. Hayene: (walkie-talkieing with Jebediah) I believe ATONE...might have something wrong with him.

(One munth later...) ATONE: Good morning, Hayene, Jebediah. Hayene: Good morning. ATONE: How is everything going? Hayene: It's going alright. So, about that interview... ATONE: It will be coming up shortly. Just a moment... Hayene: Okay. Jeb? Jebediah: Yes, Hayes? Hayene: What's been going on? Jebediah: Nothing much. Just keeping in touch with Trixy, and Valentina. She always looked cute when she slept... Hayene: It's hard to see behind that visor. ATONE: I can clear it up for you, if you want... Hayene: No need. It's alright. ATONE: Okay. I will keep the visors blackened. I will also make sure to keep them in hibernation as long as possible. Hayene: What's wrong with you? ATONE: I assure you, nothing is wrong with me. Jebediah: I certainly hope not... (A little bit of awkward silence...) ATONE: I am currently receiving a transmission from Cape Kerbal TV; station Charlie-India-November-Yankee-Niner. Jebediah: Enough with the word-for-letter chitchat, I just want to get my face on TV again for once! ATONE: Well, here you go. (A catchy jingle plays, sounding bouncy.) Newscaster: You're watching Cape Kerbal TV news at 2:30, on CINY9. The interview with the crew of the EVE-1 space mission to Villia will begin shortly. ATONE: Just a moment...activating communications...rotating ship... Newscaster: I'm Jakob Kerman, son of retired astronaut Bill Kerman, and former colleague of Jebediah and the late Bob Kerman. Speaking of Jebediah, he is up on the station right now, as they are traveling currently toward Villia. Jebediah: Hey Jakob! Jakob: Hello Jebediah. How are you doing? Jebediah: Everything's fine! How's your day? Jakob: Good. So, how's the mission been going. Hayene: It's been going swimmingly, I'll admit. But after a while it can get a little mundane. Jakob: How so? Hayene: We've been assigned with a set of responsibilities, that we have to carry out during the day. Jakob: What do these responsibilities include? Hayene: You know, checking on the hibernating crew, doing a daily test of each of the pods, making sure each scientific instrument is working...you know the deal. Jakob: And who is the hibernating crew? Hayene: Off the top of my head, I can remember Theorie, my twin brother...Trixy, Jeb's daughter, and Lagerissa and Nelgel Kerman, who are completely unrelated. Jakob: So, in essence, there are six crewmembers. Jebediah: Exactly. Jakob: Though, well, I forgot to mention the supercomputer onboard, a 3192-Series Supercomputer called ATONE. Hayene: Yep! One of only 5 in existence. Jakob: And I remember the 1609-Series got discontinued after an incident on Moho, that killed Bob and forced Bill to retire? Jebediah: Please...just thinking about that is painful. ATONE: I recognize your pain. Jakob: What was that? Who said that? ATONE: I am ATONE-3192. I am a 3192-Series Supercomputer. Jakob: Oh, yeah...so, I recognize some of its capabilities include things like reading emotions, body language, and facial expressions? ATONE: Exactly. Jakob: And, um...it can also play games like chess and checkers, answer trivia questions nearly instantaneously, and even can control other parts of the ship on their own? Jebediah: Yep! ATONE: The 3192-Series Supercomputers are also able to print out on pieces of paper, but the people who designed the mission either forgot to put in ink, or didn't bother with installing a laser-printing system. Jakob: And what's so important about that? ATONE: If I want to mess with the rest of the crew, I can't just print out a message on a piece of paper. I will have to get them to write it down. Which ruins the joke. Jakob: (stares, dumbfounded) Jebediah: Anyway, changing subject... Jakob: Yeah. Are you excited to explore Villia? Jebediah: Not in any way! I've visited it at least 70 times...including the incident on Moho! Hayene: This is only my first space trip, so I'm excited! Jakob: And, um...why did they send a novice kerbonaut like you up to go to Villia? Hayene: I'm a hard-working pilot! (chuckles) Jakob: Anyway, thanks for your time. ATONE: You're welcome, Jakob. I'll see you in a minth. Jakob: Alright, in other news, two people have-- ATONE: Cutting off transmission...reorienting ship...
