[Strawpoll] What visuals do you think needs the MOST improvement in KSP?

- I'm curious what you think is the most in-need of a visual revamp? You only get one vote so pick carefully.

[Galileo]

Well,  if I had it my way,  atmospheres and clouds and probably planet textures...  But I'm sure everyone knows that by now.

lol, if I had my way I'd have them all as well  - I'm curious what people will choose as their #1 most needed though

My wish is that something like SVE and SVT become stock so I can cut loose these shackles that are SVE and SVT and actually play KSP again  

 

who am I kidding I would find something else to tinker with...

Ironically, I prioritize sky/water/ground appearance low because your mods are so good!

Surely we're not ignoring the giant pork in the room!? ( The rocket parts revamp )

[Rocket In My Pocket]

Voted clouds.

It's a pretty glaring omission from the stock game.

[Tyko]

Clean up and standardize parts. I pick this because it will benefit all players, not just those with high horsepower gaming machines. I love Kopernicus, SVT, EVE, SVE, but only a portion of the community can use those.

I would assume Squad would create a system that isn't as taxing as EVE  or Scatterer to allow for lesser computers to have clouds as well..  Purely speculation though.. 

[Hans Dorn]

Planet surfaces.

 

Need more neat stuff to look at after travelling so far.

[idamoofus]

Even now, many rocket parts just look unfinished.

[Wjolcz]

The parts

[RX2000]

Definitely clouds. Its 2016 & there still arent even any CLOUDS in the game? Lol

I always run SVE now so anytime I see stock KSP the first thing that jumps out at me is the lack of clouds on Kerbin.

[Gaarst]

Parts.

Graphical updates (clouds, scattering, planet textures) can stay mod domain because I know I'm not going to use them (no NASA PC for me); but parts need some serious work, in terms of style and overall balance.

Clouds

What's the matter, you don't like launching 55 gal drums into space ?!

When I was using my old machine to play KSP, I shrank the EVE cloud textures to something my computer found manageable. Granted, it was rather pixely, but with all the other graphics settings dialed back it didn't look out of place, and a lot better than no clouds at all

Yeah probably..unless they come up with a way to emulate your quality with lower system requirements I'd still be using your mods, would never see Stock clouds and...therefore..would still vote for improved parts 

 

[Hotaru]

None of the above. Well, all of the above really, but the two visuals that I find most distracting in stock KSP are the skybox and the Kerbals. If I could have only one cosmetic mod in my game, it'd be Texture Replacer.

[Sharpy]

I definitely vote planet surface. The textures NEED to be randomized. The endless grids of repeating pattern are terribly jarring. At least most of Duna is plain, but I really hate checkered Gilly.

[Streetwind]

Looks like a "worldbuilding update" is really high on the list of desired features for most players.

[RocketBlam]

I say clouds/atmospheres, and we know it can be done because a few different mods have done it. The performance hit doesn't seem bad to me either. In fact I've never noticed a performance drop using them.

Instead of randomized I'd prefer thoughtfully sculpted, or at the least make more point of interest kind of areas. Get more happening with color variation and textures, eg.

 

[foamyesque]

Parts. Pie in the sky, I'd like to be able to toggle between different unlockable paint jobs for all of the tanks, pods, and adapters, with differing gameplay effects (better skin temp, less weight, etc). Failing that for the love of heaven clean up the Rockomax parts.

Also, some mesh work so that stuff of nominally the same diameter doesn't have lips (some of the adapters don't have quite the same diameter as what they're supposed to join). Consistent thermal emission effects across all parts would be pretty sweet, too.

[Andem]

Hmm. I'm torn between Clouds (absolutely necessary IMO) and a revamp of the 2.5m parts (also necessary).
