The Sonne System

[ThiccRocketScientist]

[1.1.0] The Sonne System: A developing Kopernicus mod for KSP

The Sonne System is a planet mod that is being developed for Kerbal Space Program. This mod IS NOT a copy of RSS. This adds an entirely new planet system as well as the Kerbol System, and it is still 1/10th scale, so the parts are normal.

Red: Not started.

Orange: Buggy and/or just start

Yellow: Prototype done.

Green: Mostly finished.

Dark Green: Completely done.

Sonne: The Sun of our solar system.

Mercury: You should know.

Venus: You should also know, 90 PSI, 90 times that of Kerbin. You don't need parachutes, because you aren't coming back and near the surface you cant turn and heat is emense. Without some OP ballon mod, you literally cannot get of venus.

Earth: You know... I hope, at least. Need oceans.

Moon: you know.

 

Mars: You know.

Phobos: Teeeny asteroid moon of Mars.

Deimos: Teenerer asteroid moon of Mars.

Ceres: A small dwarf planet in the asteroid belt. Much smaller than Dres, by the way. Like- Ceres is almost as small as Gilly. Yeah, it is 1/10th scale of normal because normal scale is annoying, am I right? Heh... eh... uhm... *awkward silence*

Is it possible to add auroras on Jupiter?

[ThiccRocketScientist]

I know that a version of E.V.E. Adds auroras, so maybe once I get the 'prototype' planets done I could take the E.V.E and make auoras for Jupiter and Saturn and such.

Drafts for Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter.

Testing Jupiter aerodynamics. I need to fix the green ring.

Mercury. It bacically turns into a copy of Tylo (Or Mun, depending on the template) up close! Also, the orbital speed is something like 7000 meters/second, which is obviously screwed up since it should be alike Moho's.

Venus testing. Again, once up close it turns into a Duna/Laythe clone (Depending on which template I am using, now I am using Laythe) and the atmosphere is insufficient, unlike the 90/1 ratio to Kerbin's atmosphere it should have. So fun! I will figure it out some time.

[ThiccRocketScientist]

If anyone knows anybody (themselves) or any references to help with 1.0 planet making, please suggest them! Like I said before, I suck at this and any help is valued greatly.

Thank you!

More trouble with Jupiter. Apparently it doesn't identify as a real planet, so you can't orbit it. Even with Hyperedit you just fly rigt by; it has no SOI. Also, crashing into it does nothing and then you go through the other side.

Looking at the template problems:

Mercurys template should be Moho with removeAllPQSMods enabled (rapqsm)

Venus should be Eve

Earth should be Kerbin with rapqsm enabled

Mars should be based off Tylo with rapqsm

Ceres should be Dres

Jupiter and the gas giants should be Jool

Pluto should be Tylo, not Eeloo since Eeloo has no atmosphere

All moons should be Mun with rapqsm unless with atmosphere in which case Tylo.

Sonne should be based off Sun (NOT Kerbol since in game it is sun as you probably know)

[Yukon0009]

Damn, we had the same idea.

[ThiccRocketScientist]

Damn, we had the same idea.

Yukon0009, if you want you can have the idea. I can make other systems (I am working on Gliese-581 system just to learn how to make the planets well. So if you want to do this, just say.

Sounds great, can't wait for this to be finished!!! Great pic of Venus!

I was wondering If it would be okay with you to release a planet pack very similar to yours, except it would merge the kerbol and solar systems into one, rather than having the solar system placed around a far-away star. I am writing the code for it from scratch, but I wanted to make sure it was okay with you as you came up with the idea of adding the solar system to the stock planets first, as far as I can tell.

So my computer broke and I spent a bunch of money on a better one, and almost all my Koprenicus progress on Sonne was killed...

That sucks   It was looking AMAZING.

Now that Kopernicus is 1.1, I think I am going to revive these!

Yes yes yes!

[sDaZe]

this looks great!

[AR3S_TGL]

So is this still in dev? It seems like a cool idea
