    From its ex-star. When they were breaking up, the rogue planet said, "I hope you know that I'm keeping the jewelry." So the planet still has rings.

    No idea how they're meant to produce light, though. Also, not sure we need to invent some McGuffin for it. There's still starlight, so you'd get same illumination as on a clear moonless night. It's not a lot, but it's not pitch black. It'd make exploration more difficult and more treacherous, both because of poor illumination and because you can't rely on solar. But I think it would feel like a challenge, rather than frustration. So long as there's something exciting there to find, I think it would be worth it.

    One rather grim possibility is ruins of a civilization on that dead world. If a habitable planet gets knocked out clear of its orbit, say, during a stellar near-miss, the planet will turn into a snowball with no weather to speak of within years. Eventually, atmosphere itself will condense and liquify, increasing the ocean level by some tens of meters at the most, leaving a lot of the cities open to vacuum. As the planet continues to cool, the former atmosphere might freeze as well, leaving giant planes of perfectly smooth surface with continents preserved almost as they were in between. There would be few asteroids to come by in interstellar space. No destructive radiation. No weather in what little trace atmosphere remains. Cities can stand preserved for millions of years waiting for someone to find them.

    No, what I meant was that in order for it to be crashing constantly, something else must be making it at the same rate.

    Day Three-

    In order to get more science, mission control deicded to launch a few unmanned probes-Solntse and Razmakh. 

    Solntse would be launched in an elliptical orbit around kerbol, to gather information on the dying star.

    Liftoff!

    Flight is nominal, accelerating to orbital velocity.

    Second stage cut-off, prepare for orbital insertion.

    Orbital insertion is a go!

    And now we have our first look at the feeble rays of Kerbol with the scientific instruments...Much to the KSC's surprise, kerbol is dying. The kerbal race only has a few precious years left before kerbol will go supernova, and scorch their home. The only hope for the kerbals is to flee to the nearby Aryaa system, and rebuild civilization.

    So naturally, the kerbals must send out probes to gather as much science as possible. 

    Here is the journey of Razmakh-

    Launch! As you can see, the kerbals are wasting no time...time is of the essence if they will survive.

    Good bye, Kerbin...

    Orbital Insertion around Romily-

    Razmakh was designed to be an orbiter, but science is so precious to the endangered kerbals to the point they will push the boundaries of their technology. Thank goodness Romily's atmosphere is quite tenuous...

    And touchdown!

    Wernher was please with the science returned....It will prove instrumental in saving the Kerbals.

    To avoid polluting Romily, Gene decided to blow Razmakh to smithereens "Dispose of the craft in a professional manner to avoid potentially contamination or Romily"

    *Gene* Fire it up!

    Anwho, that's it for tonight folks! You can expect another installment soon.tm

    Wait a minute...

    That's the older version of Romily. Oppo was added after I changed Romily, so how can Romily be old, if Oppo is newer?

    Its fine, but what I mean is that there is a graphical interface for this, then you can set biomes and name them(there would be a biome view which shows you the biomes, then, just paint on the biomes as you please(auto biomes would exist too, it would put highlands, midlands, lowlands, oceans(if any), then, you can rename them as well as add your own, textures would be easier as well, also, maybe there could be an ocean color editor, as well as the ability to make them any temp/density, so for example, I wanted to make a planet closer than moho that has lava oceans on the side facing the sun, and has no atmosphere, well change the color and temp of the oceans, as well as design the rest of the planet(and its orbit, which you can actually see, unlike in kopernicus, you can also raise and lower terrain, as well as alter size, and gravity.

    I mean, that's fine and dandy, but when it comes to actually making textures, it takes a lot of practice.

    It's a long road from this:
