Here is something you wouldn't see in KSP...But I gotta get your guys opinions.

[Monkthespy]

I had an idea of starting a SEABASE in the spacecraft exchange, but however, I wonder if you guys would join in and make a gigantic floating city?

(if it was underwater it could be rapture)

[Radion]

Interesting. I\'d definitely try it out.

[Foamy]

Is it possible to sink components to the bottom of the sea and have them stable? Also do parts stay in persistence when they\'re on (or under) water?

It\'s an interesting idea though and one i\'d support if it\'s possible.

Sinking, I don\'t think so. As for a floating city in the ocean, I\'m all for it.

I\'ve done this... Long ago... was in 0.12

[Kryten]

Sinking, I don\'t think so.

It\'s extremely hard to tell, as nothing in this game actually sinks; either the parts are all made of balsa wood, or the ocean is blue mercury.

I\'m up for it. Sounds like it could be really fun!

[dogon11]

You actually can sink parts!

Here\'s how it happened to me:

Launched CSS shuttle.

Boosters broke off by my doing.

One flipped upside down and plowed into the ocean.

Went to the bottom, stopped firing, didn\'t come back up.

Drove a boat out the next mission, found it underwater, still pointing vertically.

Well I don\'t have the skills to organize something like this, maybe someone could volunteer to run it?

Sounds more like it got stuck in the mud.

Someone has already built a submarine so it definately works.

I\'m hoping I can build a floating oil rig piece by piece (with docking) one day and use that to boost my resources in the campaign. One day.

There is so much water on Kerbin. The needs to be an in-game way to utilise it.

[samstarman5]

Floating launch platforms already exist in real life. Why not on Kerbin, as well?

[malcheus]

I agree, the oceans seem way to clean, lets look for efficient ways to pollute them!

[RedDwarfIV]

Because the water in KSP is so dense, parts need to have an awful lot of momentum to move even slightly underneath it. That momentum is what causes things to explode when they hit bottom. You\'d need some insanely strong parts to act as legs.
