[1.1x] Pledna (1.1.0) - Abandoned

[_Augustus_]

This mod has since been integrated into my new pack Kerbal Visions.

I've wanted a Sedna analog for my own sandbox saves for a while now, but no one has ever made one. I whipped this together with KittopiaTech in about an hour. This is basically just a slightly undersized Minmus that has been recolored and re-seeded. Since we don't know what Sedna looks like, I think that this is a pretty good approximation. Out in the Hills Cloud, Sedna is unlikely to suffer many impacts, especially large ones.

NOTE: By default the mod is set for OPM. Open the Settings.cfg to enable stock orbits.

Features

• A poor man's Sedna analog that looks a lot like Minmus but more purple and weird
• Discover a world you've totally seen before, but harder to get to - kinda like Dres, but even less lovable!
• A texture that you could probably make with MS Paint and a Minmus map if you tried
• Full compatibility with OPM and GregroxMun's Planet 6 mod

Enjoy!

Yup! But 52 Km and less bumpy.

I don't see a reason to, but sure!

It has the same orbital elements as Sedna already, just factor in the axial tilt and change the semi-major axis and you're good.

Here is the RSS config if anyone wants it:

            description = Pledna has an exceptionally long and elongated orbit, taking thousands of years to orbit the Sun and never coming closer than over 2 times Jool's distance. These facts have led to much speculation about its origin, because Pledna never comes close enough to Jool to have been scattered by it, leading some astronomers to conclude that it is in fact the first known member of the inner Oops cloud. Others speculate that it might have been tugged into its current orbit by a passing star, perhaps one within the Sun's birth cluster, or even that it was captured from another star system. Another hypothesis suggests that its orbit may be evidence for a large planet beyond the orbit of Jool...

Well crap, now I'm going to have to make my own Pledna for the Planet Six Challenge. You know. A good one.

NO! 

I'd be happy if you made a revamp to make it actually good, though. Y'know.

Hey, Pledna was my idea in the first place.
