eddiew Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 These look amazing How do the orbits play with OPM or KPlus? Not like I can ever have too many planet packs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Augustus_ Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 (edited) Beautiful. Where are these planets located? I'd be happy to test this. Edited September 1, 2016 by _Augustus_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatastrophicFailure Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 M...MOAR solid boulders?? That canyon on Icarus just demands to be explored... or is it a mountain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Raging Sandwich Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I love the level of detail of all the planets and moons! Keep up the good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whirligig Girl Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 (edited) These look way more realistic than stockalike art style. Is this meant to be an extended Real Solar System or an extended stock solar system? EDIT: a read. It mostly does look pretty dang good, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't jealous. EDIT: These near-photorealistic planets would be perfect as a full scale solar system mod. We don't have enough of those. How cool would it be to have an exoplanet mod for RSS with realistic looking planets and moons that look incredible as opposed to mere space engine exports?

JadeOfMaar Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 (edited) Those worlds. This thread. I want to try to do a sandbox conquest of worlds beyond Jool...and put it on YouTube. I'm now completely torn between OPM and this. Maybe this pack should be renamed The Galilean(s) Planet Pack? @GregroxMun You're right, this is too good to be named Stock Extended. Spoiler My conquest. When I'm not such a newbie anymore and actually make my first tour of Jool and capture a probe around Moho.

Nhawks17 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 @Galileo I'm in awe of Icarus, I will never get over how amazing your mods are and where you've taken SVE :') So proud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still trying to decide if this should be it's own solar system. I think that would be cool but it will take a lot longer to complete. 46 minutes ago, JadeOfMaar said: Those worlds. This thread.

Also i quite like that name. I'll think I'll steal it. 5 hours ago, eddiew said: These look amazing How do the orbits play with OPM or KPlus?

I don't imagine anyone would be upset if you put a gas giant where Dres is - wouldn't be too painful to get to either then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JadeOfMaar Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 You might be surprised at how many folks react to this. I have plans for Dres myself, but I wouldn't mind finding a Galilean in its place if it means more to see than just the canyon. Spoiler And maybe its mystery spuds. The Dresroids/Dresteroids. 21 minutes ago, Galileo said: Also i quite like that name. I'll think I'll steal it. Lol.

Galileo Posted September 1, 2016 Author Share Posted September 1, 2016 I may need some help with atmospheric and gravitational settings in my kopernicus cfgs. I mean I set them up but I don't feel that they are realistic enough to match the planets. @OhioBob I know you are the subject matter expert around here, would you be willing to help?

I think I can calculate some realistic gravitational parameters for each body, provided I know the characteristics of them. I really want to test this mod out, it looks awesome!

Doc Shaftoe Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Stunning doesn't quite do these justice. What kind of sorcery did you use to make those textures? They look amazing! Gauss in particular has so much depth to it, it's amazing. Something that the rest of the gas giants out there are sorely lacking. Gorgeous work as always Galileo.

The work you've done so far is first rate, I'd be happy to help out. Those planets look beautiful. There is just some basic information that I need to work up some realistic temperature and pressure curves. We can either discuss it here in this thread or we can private message. Let me know what you want to do. BTW, I like the idea of making this an entirely new and alternative solar system. Of course that decision is yours.

So far the only visual enhancements you see is scatterer and that's only on the gas giants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
