PlutoISaPlanet

Get all the name recommendations and make a poll. Awesome idea!

@Minmus TasterHow about oculo, like oculus (Latin for eyeball)

@mcwaffles2003 Thanks for breathing some life into the idea. I also think you have had some pretty cool ideas. Lets hope ksp 2 isn't just making the planets better. Telescopes like you said are synonymous with space science.

If that is minmus then they totaly revamped it. Were are the mountains. Why are their so many craters. Just saying it looks too different for my taste.

Wonder what that first icy planet was. Why show it with kerbol planets if it isn't a new edition. I know they aren't changing the system, but it is strange. Also the mun looks underwhelming.

Yeah, to bad it takes them a week to talk about this news, by then we will be moving on to the next thing. NEXT FRIDDDAAAAYYYYY!!

FRIDAYYYYYYYYYYY Actually we saw some bodies that we haven't seen before, and some more detailed looks of big impact planet with water!

Man this thread is important, yet the conversation has died.

I would like this, it should be in the game considering how valuable Lunar and Martian rocks are to science.

Ovin... why not

Glumo is a Saturn analogue, and it is very likely not in the kerbol system.

Which planets, dwarf planets, and moons should get their own Analogues?

Better mission planning.

The visuals of the game always felt depressing to me. I got to the mun, then minmus and I honestly felt a small feeling of accomplishment.

Some of these are pretty good.

I think devs are going more for resource management then time management.

I hope Nate and others see this! Honestly, I hope they are already doing most of the recommendations in this thread because if they are not then they might screw up science, and science is already pretty screwed up. BTW lowkey this thread should probably be pinned.

No worries! BUT DONT LET ME SEE YOU DO IT AGAIN!! Jk

I like it, but I dont know if this will ever be implemented in ksp2. Definitely a nice idea.

Thanks! I'm definitely not a telescope expert, but I will remember this advice. I love space, so seeing it is very important to me. Again, highly appreciated!

My friend has a older model resembling a celestron next star (I think). I want to get more into the hobby, but I'm not craking 1.5k for a telescope like that. I have a cheap 50 60 dollar telescope from Amazon. The reason I have not upgraded from a starter scope is because I live in a area very close to NYC, so I am afraid of how good picture would be looking at nebula and clusters. I am thinking soon though to upgrade, but for now I'm happy.

When I was on vacation I saw a fireball over my head in a parking lot, but it was night. That event totaly sparked my curiosity. The crazy things in are universe are so cool and wild, and they are all happening above us. I have a very weak telescope but I am starting to pick up the hobby. KSP really helped enforce my inrest in space also, so I really hope this game exceeds expectations.

Couldn't say it any better. We explore space to learn, yet ksp has never reflected that. Each planet only has a paragraph of data, and that is a shame.

We have already been shown 7 planets (some named) which are not from the kerbol system, and we have multiple names of celestial bodies we have never heared from the post it in ep 1. If they already had these planets almost done then, I would hope by now they are working on solar system 3 of at least 5 or 6, but I speculate that number will be much bigger.

I hope so, but in my search for hints or conformatiions I have found zilch. The ksp background of stars in space has no character. Giving us the ability to view and study beautiful formations in the surrounding space would be really awesome. BTW rogue planets would be cool.
