Kolniya orbit in ksp 1.1?

[Raiv]

In Ksp 1.1 we get new orbit type for contracts. Byt strangely it called Kolniya orbit.
This type of orbit called Molniya orbit in the name of soviet molniya (lighting) satellite first placed on it. Proof .

It's a play on "Kerbal", adding "K" to everything, a joke (and a tired one at that).  Molniya becomes "Kolniya".

Interestingly, in the Career.cfg file it is spelled both ways inconsistently.

Well. I understand replacements such as keostationary and keosynchronous, which connected to planet name (Geo->Keo). But this... Why not rocket ->kocket, orbit ->korbit etc....

Honestly I'd prefer they just got rid of all the Ks added to everything. It's funny for all of five minutes, if that.

Yeah, "K" instead of "C" I can understand, but the other uses are just not funny. A little too far fetched even.

But honestly I dont care that much about the K's, yes it's a bit lame, but they propably just need to have their own "kerbalized" names.

I don't mind it too much honestly. Its similar enough that you'll figure it out, but also kerbal enough that one could imagine that on this world the orbit was named after a kerbal and not a human.
