Expand I was going by this entry in the Wiki: "Kerbals speak backwards Spanish. Their speech can be heard in the Astronaut Complex as well as the end of the credits theme. However, the credits theme is cut-off at the end, so the music file has to be got out of the game files to hear it. In trailers as well, they speak reverse Spanish (aka "loñapsE"). However, Wernher von Kerman and Gene Kerman do emit sounds like "a-ha" and disappointed groans during in-game tutorials and at Mission Control. Curiously, They seem to write in modern english, not appearing as backwards Spanish." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galileo Posted September 3, 2016 Author Share Posted September 3, 2016 (edited) So today I'm out with my wife and daughter on a beautiful Saturday. If you ever find yourself in Glen Rose, Texas, check out Dinosaur World. It's pretty awesome I'll continue work on this tonight when I get home Edited September 3, 2016 by Galileo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nhawks17 Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 I vote Ciro or Oric for the name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhioBob Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Although I'm the one who suggested Sunna, I'm now leaning toward Ciro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProtoJeb21 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 @Galileo I have a suggestion for the Sun's new name: Soranus. It's a Roman deity often associated with the Sun god Apollo. You've been going with a lot of Greco-Roman names for your celestial bodies, so why not continue that trend for the whole system? Also, if you're going to have another Earth-like planet, I'd like to suggest the name Tellumo, which is the Roman's male counterpart of the Earth goddess Gaea.

OhioBob Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 @ProtoJeb21, I like both of those suggestions. But I'm going butt out and leave all the naming decisions to @Galileo. He's the artsy guy, I'm the science guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poodmund Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 These are looking very nice. As for the standard you are obviously trying to shoot for here, I would suggest that from a playability or personality point of view if I was player it would be great if each body has a prominent feature/theme much like Eeloo has its area of ridged cracks or Slate in OPM has its giant planetary ridge.

Expand They will all have something special about them, however I dont feel its up to me to say what those special things are. whenever i get around to making the biomes i can specify, what i feel, are some prominent features.
