I jail the pickpocket. My pickpocket.

I don't know about that figure, diproton is going to blow itself apart by electromagnetic repulsion unless the strong force is really strong. But if it is, it could make for interesting physics. Maybe in the Kerbal universe proton-proton fusion is possible without one of the partners becoming a neutron, but it requires so much energy to begin that only the largest stars can ignite it and draw on that source of power. Hence why there's still a little energy. That could even be a late-term goal for the Kerbals - gather enough energy to begin fusing all the hydrogen they have lying around. In our universe, proton-proton fusion is catalyzed by the weak interaction turning one proton into a neutron. Because the weak interaction is, well, weak, this is extremely slow and most fusion reactor designs use a steady source of neutrons as well (deuterium).

Ooh boy. I would not like to be a Company employee right now. Engineering + Anger = Problems. Possibly massive. Possibly energetic. Possibly both. Like I said (and will continue to say) pure science beats pure bureaucracy any day of the week.

And it explains why the stars have died - plus, the vanilla KSP universe appears to have a stronger strong nuclear force (stars produce more energy for their mass) just like the other end of the Pump in The Gods Themselves.

This is... fun. I can imagine a collaborative effort by everyone that plays this mod to launch a probe on every orbit and SOI-map the entire universe... Fun. For bonus points, plaster a budgie onto the texture of one planet, a massive miles-long easter egg... ...that no one will ever see.

I'd sure like to help, although I freely admit to knowing nothing about Kopernicus. You could have electric charge be an extremely expensive resource, as energy is going to be the most prized thing in a post-heat-death system. You could also make the home planet an atmosphere-less world, and have it in a close orbit around its parent (dead) star, thus changing the distribution of Delta-V usage as well. Different as possible...

The "Positron Pump" obviously is a reference to Issac Asimov's The Gods Themselves, which features a similar device and premise with the side effect of turning one universe into a nuclear wasteland. Maybe make the planet orbits and icons black, black on black so you have to click randomly to find them. Of course you could just use keys then. I think Kopernicus has an option for making planets unselectable, but that might be too hard (space is big). I'd also suggest reversing the priorities of original KSP. In original KSP, science points and delta-V are the big limiting factors while science flavor text, funds, and electricity are often overlooked. It would fit well with the theme of your mod if you had really high delta-V almost from the start but the planets have no information in the description besides how they were discovered. The really outer ones should just have "???" and you have to find things out by taking crew reports. There should be lots of biomes with lots of different reports (so science points aren't a factor but the flavor text is) and "roots" represent "fabrication energy" which is the far-future society's currency and a limitation on how many rockets you could build. Innovative idea!

Before people suggest that Kargantua could be the cause of the gamma-ray burst - no. No. We settled that the gamma ray burst was predicted by someone observing an unstable blue giant. The supernova happened several billion years ago, and will happen in a few years on our light-cone. The gamma wavefront is still barreling toward Kerbin from a few light-years out. Besides, a hypernova at Kargantua's orbit would probably destroy every planet in the system. Mystery not solved. Kargantua might gravitationally distort the pulse, though...

If this goes on any longer, we may have to begin to consider the possibility that this is not a joke. Prepare the pitchforks.

PSA: April Fools Is Over!

I build my own hill, and ban wordplay. My hill.

34- (fighting for absvalue team now) (maybe make a googlesheet to record the number, see how it changes)

Aand... early April Fools joke. I see no poll, though. Ooh... that was a fun one... ...this thing has been going on so long!

This makes MOAR radiation. Adjusting Jupiter's magnetosphere? Know somebody at Kardashev-1?

No, idiot, the comet IS your heatshield! Ah, here's a solution: melt the outsides, let them refreeze, you now have an ice container, see? On the other hand, I cannot refute @Starman4308's complaints regarding intercepts, equipment, and fragility.

I am surprised that nobody has poked gigantic holes in my plan. C'mon guys, I know they're there, wake up and rip my carefully planned ideas to shreds!

Now you got there... we eagerly await "back again". Flags and footprints indeed. Will you be able to collect enough science on a single landing to make it worthwhile?

Oh, you already sent a mission to it? Then that would explain why you are reluctant to move the thing... just say it was captured or something if you want to. Making two might be a good idea, all small frozen planetoids are around the same anyway.

Ah yes, upon further investigation I discovered a paper defining them. Certainly a very good convention. I'll use them.

Eeloo does make a much better Enceladus than Pluto, though. Plock-Karen replaces it for your far-out minor body needs. In terms of moving through a save, you could just pretend your Kerbals haven't resolved its orbit yet, and only discovered it recently. Also, are the Cosmic Speeds an agreed-upon thing? I saw them in @lajoswinkler's Kron series, where he explained them as low orbit, Kerbin escape, Solar escape, and Galactic escape, but I assumed it was just his notation. Did you get it from there, or is it all from some other source?
