Just played around with it the last hour and i had no issues at all (except for the clouds but that seems to be a work in progress, and a submod anyway). Very nice mod, just what the doctor ordered to pass the time until 1.1 arrives. Should be quite the challenge for a career with life support. There is one thing that really bugs me tough: The orbit of Solyth and Fust, just because the innermore is the ice planet. I have no problem switching their orbits in the config, just thought i leave that as a suggestion. And if you have smth clever to explain that (like "nuclear winter" from the mentioned asteroid impact) just ignore this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The texturing is clearly the color of sand and not white like ice. I have no idea, but your monitor might make solyth more white than it actually is.

underscoreshmm Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 can you add like a brown dwarf? It'll be very interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is, I'm not sure how to go about making it look enough like a gas giant while still making look enough like a star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The assembly of my mission is still underway, so i haven't seen it from the surface. But my Astrokerbalists swear that it still looks rather white trough their telescopes. Might be a light related issue (im using EVE and KSPRC)? Anyway, ice or sand planet, it looks gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proteus Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 can some one please tell me where is this red dwarf star located in the kerbin system?is beyond jool or before? and if beyond how far compare to opm?i got opm 3.2 scale mod installed,and i dont know if i should add this mod also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valentine orbits so ridiculously far away that even with scale mods, opm should work. 3 hours ago, elpollodiablo said: The assembly of my mission is still underway, so i haven't seen it from the surface.

ProtoJeb21 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 (edited) This mod is looking really nice! Also, I found a gas giant similar to Lomina in Space Engine that has two moons resembling Javine and Deemo! I haven't found anything like that anywhere else in the galaxy.

gamerscircle Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 (edited) I don't suppose anyone might have an interstellar craft link that I can look at? Not completely understanding how I get from Kerbin to Valentine with both dV and real time. Thanks. Edited March 16, 2016 by gamerscircle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, i played around with the numbers using the transfer window planner and finally said nope, either gonna take thousands of years, or millions of delta v. Im guessing you would need a warp drive. Maybe you could build a huge mothership with hundreds of kerbals and freeze them for the trip, and build everything you need once you get there with a mod like EL. I might have to try it again...

USER_NAME Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 There are some ideas I have that could be added. The ideas are: White holes, black holes, and possibly another solar system in the future (future development, not time) of earth and its solar system, or a solar system (also future development) that is being developed, like a bunch of asteroids that are rich in resources orbiting a star. I am not expecting any of these to actually be added but hey, it is just an idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andi K. Posted March 17, 2016 Author Share Posted March 17, 2016 Hey guys! For all of those artists out there, I have a challenge for you. I want you guys to try to make an updated banner and logo for Extrasolar and RSS Extrasolar! Send me a PM with the banner and logo you designed and whichever one I think is the best will be selected to be used on both of my mods (make sure to make one for both). As usual, I will give credit where credit is due. Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richfiles Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 (edited) So, I know that Valentine is .05 lightyears from Kerbol... Still have no idea how that relates to scale. I think that's why people have asked for the distance in AU (Kerbin to Kerbol), so they can understand the scale as an "n" times further than Kerbin is to the sun frame of reference. With stock KSP having no time delays with distance, and measuring everything in metrics of meters, It's not remotely possible to generate a clear frame of reference without whipping out a calculator and looking up some values... So... If 0.05 Lightyears = 473037 Gm, and Kerbin is 13.6 Gm from Kerbol... Valentine is 34782 Kerbin AU from Kerbol. Dayum! Add another zero for RSS. Anotehr issue I have seen in planet packs, is solar power. Most packs like OPM require fuel cells or RTGs, since solar energy is nil passed Jool. The question is, does your mod allow solar panels to generate solar power with Valentine as a frame of reference? Does the red shifted spectrum affect solar efficiency, if solar power generation does work off of Valentine? ... Still wanna do a conventional propulsion mission, since it sounds like Squad has stomped the 32-bit signed integer bug for rendering time passed 233 Kerbin years! That might drive me crazy though... witht he exception of my very first sandbox game, I no longer warp for the sake of expediting large transfer windows. I have always restricted myself to only time warping in system (Kerbin to mun or minmus, Duna to Ike, Etc). I just run moar missions simultaneously while I wait for stuff to get places! I think the longest span I have ever time warped in my last save was 14 days! No really... I might go crazy waiting!

Azrael the Sorrowful Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 What's the difference between the stock and realistic scale? Is realistic for 64k? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richfiles Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 (edited) I think RSS is 10x bigger. I think... 64K is apparently not in reference to the game engine and CPU bit width or memory addressability... LOL, when I see 64k, for some reason it makes me think 64 bit. Instead, apparently it's a reference to a 6.4x larger than stock scale... It's... confusing... All I know, is I run stock scale.

Andi K. Posted March 20, 2016 Author Share Posted March 20, 2016 14 hours ago, Azrael the Sorrowful said: What's the difference between the stock and realistic scale? Is realistic for 64k? Okay. There is RSS Extrasolar, realistic scale, and stock scale. RSS Extrasolar is a completely different mod. Realistic scale works well with 64K or the 10x Kerbol System mod. Stock scale is just for the normal Kerbol System without any scaling mods installed. Does that clear things up a little? I think I've found a way to add support for 64K so I'll try that out and release an update if it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The solar energy is slightly lower than than Kerbol, but maybe it's a bit high. I'm using somebody else's solar power curve values, as I do not have a calculator to determine the different values.

Yes it does, and I'm running extrasolar (the kerbin version) realistic scale with 64k and it seems to be working correctly to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USER_NAME Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I saw your mod was on KottabosGames, good job! I wouldn't expect him to view this mod since it is a planet pack and he has done plenty of them in the past if I recall correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
