[1.0.4] (WIP) Kerbol StarSystem

[StarCrusher96]

I am working on a star/planet pack, making the Kerbolsystem part of a triple/quadrupal starsystem.

First look at the new planets. (they orbit now Kirb (Prok from Galactic Neighbourhood)).

***clouds will be added in the future

Where did those textures come from? What mods? Or are those stock textures?

[Whirligig Girl]

Blalo very clearly uses Laythe's texture from Alternis Kerbol. I don't think it is allowed to use it in a project that is not derived from Alternis Kerbol, certainly not without giving credit to Nova.

It would be like me taking the Nuclear Lightbulb from AtomicAge and releasing it in my own mod pack as a 1.25m chemical engine, with a disclaimer that "I use part textures/models from other packs"

Aww... I wanted to hire whoever made those textures and restart my stockalike GP2 planet pack, but there's no way Nova would do that...

Also, I apparently haven't played Alternis Kerbol for longer than I thought.

[StarCrusher96]

I have made my own textures now

Edited October 18, 2015 by StarCrusher96

[ThatGuyWithALongUsername]

Ooh. I like those textures.

[StarCrusher96]

Are they good?

Are they good?

Yeah. Did you pull them right out of SpaceEngine or edit them? They look like the SE textures from New Horizons, which are edited to look a little better.

Either way great job!

[StarCrusher96]

I used textures from SpaceEngine and I edit them with Photoshop and Gimp to look more 'Ksp-like'.

I would make them support Galactic Neighborhood by having them orbit Prok-Kseema, but that's just my opinion I guess.

[StarCrusher96]

They already do orbit Prok-Kseema in my game

Oh, good! Where does the desert planet orbit?

Also what planets do you plan to add? (I am putting these into my massive KSP SpaceEngine universe)

Blalo being the third or fourth planet (a bit closer than Kerbin to the Sun), Alva (the second or third) orbits closer to Prok than Eve.

In my game the distances are different than the stock distances because I work with a rescale (stock and OPM).

Ideas for Prok:

- Another rocky planet with a very thin atmosphere and some deep cracks (tidal forces) in its surface (or huge volcanoes) very close to the star.

- A hot Jupiter so big (because of the high temperatures in its atmosphere) it can partial eclipse the star.

- A ring around Alva or Blalo

- I am also thinking about a temperate/hot moon for Alva with some small lakes. (evaporating due to high temperatures)

For Kseema, there will be tidally locked planets and a gas giant.

I will also make a small red dwarf star (orbiting very far and inclined) with its own unique planetary system.

IF somebody has any nice ideas? (realistic planets or moons plz)
