Oceanic Exploration?

[Fraggle]

Is this a thing?

Or did I just totally miss this.... I am a noob so forgive me if I did.

As far as Im aware we can dump probs and robots onto planets and moons.

But is there provision for exploring bodies of water?.

Water types, temps, Depth and so on...

Just curious.

Not really, other than there being biomes for the bodies of liquid around. There aren't any dedicated boat parts (though some players are quite clever at bending other parts to the purpose), and exploring underwater is difficult and dangerous.

Wait, you CAN go underwater?

IMO this could/should be Squads next project. Kerbal Oceanic Program... I posted a suggestion a while back. This would be a great standalone that would compliment KSP very well.

I watched 'The Abyss' last night and made me want it even more.

With enough thrust downwards, I'm sure you can

It's possible even with old hydrodynamics:

I also think they reduced the buyoancy of some parts, so that could be even easier now.

I remember quite a while ago there was a thread or challenge on seeing how far you could get under water, and I think the best part for the job ended up being the large orange fuel tanks to weigh you down, but I'm not entirely sure on that part.

Grab one of the new mk three parts, some of them sank in 0.90.
