    Weather?

    in Prelaunch KSP2 Discussion

    Posted

    Shouldn't you think that KSP2 should have weather? It would put an interesting twist on the game, but only would be available in the Normal and Advanced Difficulty. (Of course, clear weather is possible.) In Normal, you could get low winds, medium winds, rain, partially cloudy skies, and snow. In Advanced, you would get low winds, medium winds, high winds, rain, rainstorms, thunderstorms, partially cloudy, cloudy, heavily cloudy, snow, and hail. I think weather would be a good addition to the game.

    Mission Name Ideas

    Ok, so I just finished a mission program for a Mun landing, the "Kerpollo" Program. I've already decided on Kerbin and Jool mission names. So, I need some mission names for everything except Kerbin, the Mun, and Jool. It can be based off of a real mission program name, just make sure it's "Kerbalized." Or, create your own name!

    The Kerpollo Program

    So, I decided to try and land on the Mun for the first time and return back to Kerbin 2 days ago, and after 5 launches, I finally did it! The first mission was Kerpollo 1 with a Sarnus 5 rocket. (Get it?) That ended out with me not understanding what Delta V is, and didn't have enough fuel to slow myself down enough with enough fuel to get back to Kerbin. Kerpollo 2 with a Sarnus 5-1 rocket went slightly better. The only problem was that I didn't have any landing legs, which ended up smashing Jeb and his Mk1 Command Pod onto the Munar surface at 31 meters per second. Kerpollo 3 and the Sarnus 9 rocket didn't do too good, either. Kerpollo 3 landed sideways, and when I tried to just burn the engine and aim upwards, I accidentally aimed downwards, causing a major catastrophe. Kerpollo 4 and the Sarnus 9-1 was the best mission by far, but wasn't a success. At this point, I started using Maneuver Nodes. Boy, that helped A LOT. For Kerpollo 4, I chose to just go straight for the Mun and skipped orbiting Kerbin once. I successfully landed, took a Surface Sample, and planted a flag. I got back in my rocket and used Maneuver Nodes to bring myself back to Kerbin. The only problem was that I suck at managing my fuel and Delta V. So, Kerpollo 4 got stuck in an orbit around Kerbin. And finally, my first successful Munar landing, Kerpollo 5 with the Sarnus 9-2 rocket. This worked PERFECTLY. Everything worked as it should've and I got to and from the Mu safely. Mission Successful!

    I’m a bit surprised nobody else has mentioned Kerea, the Korea-shaped peninsula east of the KSC. Trying to Kerbal-ify real countries is probably not the best way to do it though as just shoving K or Ker into their names won’t work in most cases.

    But, isn't that literally one of the loading messages? "Adding "K" To Every Word..."

    I mean, like, yeah. Certain things just don't go well with it. But, if you want to Kerbal-fy a word, just adding a "k" at the beginning and maybe changing some letters, you'll end up with something eventually.

    Wow, Communist Kerbals. XD

    What about Kernada? (Analogue for Canada.)

    *With a Canada as a country in the game, then the Canadian Space Agency flags and colored suits are available. Same with different Canadarm joints and arms all a different length. This could make it easier for docking on Space Stations or any other orbital object with a Clamp-o-tron or one of the CSA parts, the Canadarm Grips. These range from 1.25 meters and 2.75 meters.*

    Depends on how good your rocket is. with an orion drive you can get there in 100, and with an antimatter drive you can get to the closest star in 5 (assuming your talking about proxima centauri).

    Isn't anti-matter a mod, tho?

    Why 300 years? How far is the next star and at what speed? Nearest star might only be two light years away and ship velocity might reach 0.5c so potentially only four years travel time. 

    Some people predict the closest star will be 1 lightyear away. From Voyager 1's position, it will reach the Oort Cloud (which is 1 lightyear away from the Sun) in 300 years.

    Slow??? Maybe in a GALACTICAL perspective but our sun travels at around 200,000 M/s. I estimate there will be in between 5 to 20 star systems in KSP2. And maybe if NATE SIMPSON takes notes on my advice we could see a black hole boi or Neutron star boi...

    Well, if they move too fast, it's gonna be easy to miss other systems
