I wait to see the ideas you come up with. And the reason why I submitted this challenge is because. Kerbal Space Program the the community always break something once in a while. Making the impossible, possible. And lets revisit this old friends, and finally shows the Kraken who is boss! Like how we (humankind) went to the Moon. Not because it was easy. Because it was hard.

The mode was A Green Gas: Go lower than 199,999m but above 150,000m and return and this submitter was the first to do it. It has shown not to break any rules and its clear. What an awesome submission. Very impressive and this shows that this is doable! @Admiral Fluffy Submitted this submission. The submitter dipped into Jool's atmosphere. Impressive still. And shows that anything's are possible. N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A = Not Applicable An image of Jool shining in its all mighty glory. Image made by @AnimatedK using Blender.

Me! @ksp2

Okay. Okay. There's been a whole lot of discussion about what KSP2 should look like. However before I go any further, this is a casual post and not a formal one. This post does not have any interaction or endorsement from the developers from Kerbal Space Program 2. I was not given information from them. This is just what I THINK should be KSP2. It's okay if others disagree. I believe in opinions. A lot of talk has been about how the other planets and star systems should show up. In my personal opinion I think all the exoplanets, star systems, and planets should show in sandbox and science mode. This just makes sense from the stance of the original game. However, career mode is almost like a story. So it does make sense for other stars and exoplanets to pop up after certain events, contracts, upgrades, or time. I mean, it took us a while to find the first exoplanet. The technology tree has some disputes too though. People are suggesting that the techtree shouldn't show. And it should be like before in KSP BETA. I sorta agree with this but I am in between. I personally liked the tech tree now in KSP. You can see which nodes unlock certain parts. For me this sets a goal for me to aim at but I'm not sure. Some forum users suggest not bringing some parts from KSp to KSP2. Now, I don't understand why. But I really don't want to have a say in this. I'm not the smartest of people. I'm not a futurist, physicists, or anything that knows about space parts that well. So I won't dig too much into it. Lets just say I’m not known for knowing these things. Now I like this part. Some people suggest some mods of KSP would be implemented in KSP2. Now there are some mods that deserve to be in KSP2. Like Kerbal Alarm clock. I hear it's very useful and I have tried it. But I personally think that some mods deserve and not to deserve to be implemented into KSP2. The cheat menu of KSP lacks some features. For KSP2 I hope they add some more cheat options. I think all the cheats from KSP should be in KSP2 but some others should be added. Like hyperedit or some sort of system that can change the date of the clock. I think those would be useful. I think those should be added. Should star systems be brighter than background stars in KSP2? I think yes! But not a lot. Just a tiny bit. Why? Well. They are stars after all and stars blamed together in the night sky in the real world. And from tur space realism stars would be a bit brighter if they were closer to us. That's not true. I just think that. I know some stars are brighter and Alpha Centauri is closer but Sirius is brighter and farther. Planet shine! Should planets glimmer and should stars fade once planets go in front of them? I don't know. I'm not sure if players would notice the difference. For me I wasn't able to tell. But for those who like details, I think this is a great feature if it's toggled in the settings. Should KSP2 music be copyrighted? No! I don't think KSP2 music should be copyrighted. It just makes videos of it look awful and kinda boring. Especially in livestreams. I've seen other games do this and the title just goes down. How should colonies work. I don't know. I'm not a futurist or colonist. And those are my suggestions for KSP2! If you disagree with me that's fine. Lets just not bring up any fight in this thread. You can agree or disagree. Your choice. I might add more But for now. By. These are my suggestions for Kerbal Space Program 2.

Me! @ksp

Agh! @Matt Lowne

I think for sandbox and science mode of KSP2 should have all the KSP planets and interstellar planets should show. In career their orbits should slowly appear after time and contracts. Like asteroids.
