Thx, now the mod loads fine without any problems.

I fall in repeat: KS still says v0.9.0, Curse is updated to v0.10.0 though

Yeah I know. Kerbalstuff didn't work well this morning. I'll try again later

I think RP-0 contracts would be a good idea as an incentive to go explore the expanded solar system. Probably in next version...

The problem is, in RP-0, balance is very important.

Should be cool just to stick with the normal values RP-0 is currently using for the bodies near where the moons/minor planets are. Like Mars for Vista, or Saturn for the new Uranus moons.

Never liked the idea that adding more bodies means lowing science returns from visiting places overall. Maybe I'd buy that if all the places were easy, like the the Earth system. But let's be honest, anyone who tours Uranus' moons deserves whatever funds/science you can possibly throw their way. =D

So I kept the original RP-0 balance. That means, a flyby of a moon gives you a little bit more credits than a planet flyby. (That is normal, moons are harder to reach.)

Each contract for a flyby of an Uranian moon will give you 62 000 credits in advance, and 62 000 more upon completion.

620 000 in total if you do a Uranian grand tour. And thats without the multiplier

(An Uranus flyby is 60 000 in advance, 60 000 upon completion)

I added Jupiter moons, Saturn moons and Uranus moons flybys.

I also added missing contracts for the original RP-0 moons (All original moons except Phobos and Deimos)

I would personally love to simulate cassini with Phoebe (because it was first body that was visited by cassini [without Jupiter and Saturn]) I love your mod.:)

I tried to find models of Phoebe, without success :/

The texture map is available though. But without a heightmap, it will look boring.

I finally made it! I've created a heightmap of Phoebe, using blender and a 3d model of phoebe :D

It will probably look very good!!

Awesome job! And if it doesn't look good, give me a shout and I'll try to get you some maps. In fact, I'd have offered you a bunch of Phoebe maps already if it wasn't for the fact that you already got a few maps.

Oh, and according to NASA there's a new dwarf planet in the oortcloud. So far it's called 'V774104'. It's believed to exist based off the weird orbits of other dwarf planets in that area.

Here is a quick fix for the saturn ring issue.

I'm wondering, are the objects 90377 sedna and  V774104 going to be added? Also, are there going to be any NEOs?

Expand  

I just had a look at its orbit and decided that I will add it in next version. With Eris too. 

Next planned bodies : 

Eris
136199

2007 OR10
225088

Haumea
136108

Quaoar
50000

Sedna
90377

 

 

 

I won't add  V774104 because I can't find precise orbital elements yet.

In RSS, making it to LEO is hard. Making it to another nearby planet is very hard. And making it to Sedna would be Chuck Norris hard. We humans are masochists.
