Dres - A Demographic Study of the User Base

[something]

There are quite a few opinions on Dres. Some people pretends it exists, some pretend it does not exist. I want to know your opinion on Dres and whether you are open for scientific evidence that might change your opinion. Please do not use this topic as a platform for your religious crusade in this question. Scientific arguments are ok, but we should keep it there.

Dres is real cool, has lots of little roids to play with. One of my favourite places in KSP.

@Galacticvoyager I'm here! 

Dres totally exists and I am not open to scientific proofs stating otherwise.

New cryptid: Dres.

Is this a role-playing thread? I want to play the wizard.

[DarkOwl57]

I think that Dres does exist, but I've never gone past the SOI of Kerbin so I've not been there (sorta like the irl NASA)

hahaha

[MalevolentNinja]

I didn't see an answer that fits me.

I'm pretty sure Dres exists - I see it in map view. But I've never been to it. It's the only celestial body in KSP that I haven't visited.

"Oh, we're off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of Dres..."

Hey, @regex, it works in the song...

[max_creative]

OKAY, WHO SAID THAT IT PROBABLY DOESN'T EXIST?!

I think this theme of  #Fakedres just underlines the point that Dres needs work done on it so that it isn't just some glorified Mun.

[Whisky Tango Foxtrot]

I've got an unmanned probe on its way there right now, so I'll find out for sure in a few hundred in-game days.

[Modboxer]

I dare one of you to prove to me that Dres exists. It's impossible, because Dres never existed, never will exist and currently does not exist.

 

[Randazzo]

I don't understand this little fad.

 

[Modboxer]

That's some nice fake Dres data you've got there. I assume that you also believe that Kerbin is round? HA!

Ok, that triggered the song, Magic Carpet Ride, in my head... Thank you, @regex!

Dres' tendency to capture asteroids would make it the primary economic powerhouse of a future colonised Kerbol system.

I find Dres fascinating in a way because of that. But I never thought that far. Someone needs to do this. with alloftheUSImods.

[IncongruousGoat]

I grudgingly concede that Dres exists, since I've been there twice. But don't take this as a pro-Dres message. Neither visit was pleasant.

It's interesting that the topic of Dres asteroids has come up with regards to colonizing the Kerbol system, because the Dresteroids do feature somewhat in my plans for my long-term career. Whilst it's not likely to be a huge operation, I will probably position an asteroid-mining spacecraft powered by highly-efficient engines in Dres orbit to mine ore, since it's more efficient that way than going to the surface. As such, one of the Dres stations will probably be a sort of pit stop for interplanetary spacecraft headed to places beyond the orbit of Jool (meaning Keelon, Sarnus, Rega, and Eeloo). I'm not using the main series USI mods, but I am planning on putting bases just about everywhere.

[JamesL86]

I believe the more appropriate question would be; is it worth visiting?  In my case the answer to that is no.  However, I am bias as I don't find any of the planets interesting to visit anymore.  After the two grand tours I've done I no longer see the point in going anywhere in the Kerbol system since there isn't anything to do when you arrive, save for planning the return trip.  Oh how I wish KSP was more of a management/god-game type of game.

[W. Kerman]

I'm not sure. You see, I went to where Dres was supposed to be, and I found the mün.

[Bluegillbronco2]

Why is this an argument? Are people really saying that Dres does not exist? Just because you dont have the patience to and practice getting there does not mean it doesn't exist. How do you know its so boring if you have never been there?  I see a lot of people saying that "there is no reason to go there".... Do you NEAD a reason to do anything in KSP?Just go out and do it. For me just the fact that it exists is reason enough for me to explore it. Every planet/moon in KSP is beautiful in their own way. In a truly infinite universe there exists a solar system that is exactly the same as the Kerbol one. I am willing to bet that any of you would give alot up to be able to go there and explore it,  even Dres. So why no use this game to do it?
