Candre Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Nova, how could you? I have work to do, and I can\'t do it while excited! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vostok Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 I\'m swithering as to whether or not I like the whole idea of planets at this point, since I always assumed they\'d come later in development. But who am I to complain? It\'ll be awesome!Interesting question to the developers however: The new planned planets, will there be gas giants? I am aware that Mu\'s current terrain engine doesn\'t support gaseous planets, so is the headline \'planets\' subtitled \'terrain engine revision\' or will the planets stay solid, and the gas giants problem be resolved at a later date?(I also do hope that the EVA control system is rectified, though. It\'s been the only thing I\'m not really content with from 0.16) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bioman222 Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Our spacecraft are returning remarkable yet low-resolution images...(No devblogs yet, that comes after the move to vBulletin)Don\'t you worry about planets, let me worry about blank!Well, it\'s a rocky planet, has a moon, and has a smiley face on it if you look at it right. Also, it appears as though there is a bigger celestial body, seeing the ambient light below in picture 1. Could it be closer to Kerbol then Kerbin? If so, is that Kerbin in the background, not a moon? With out higher res, since the Kervoyager probe you sent was from WAY back right after the Great Kerbin War, I cannot analyze much further.

Bekiekutmoar Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 It also looks like a selena type celestial body. Almost perfect spherical appearance, so it must be (much) bigger than Minmus ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sneakeypete Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 I suppose the ability to start a flight in orbit around these new planets might help, but does anyone else thing that its going to be mighty difficult to actually get to any of these new places?edit: get to them in an efficient manner at least. After all you could just keep thrusting until your orbit crosses but it may take a lot more fuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pleborian Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 I was REALLY hoping for docking, but new planets are cool too ;P i hope these new parts are base building parts so i can have an outpost on these new places Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkman Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 I can\'t help myself, this is pure KSP pr0nCenter of mass, thrust, lift and drag visual cues on the construction scenes....save your own scenarios from your main game.Many new planets and moons throughout the Kerbal Solar System.time-warp mode where you can accelerate time to 2x, 3x and 4x2x will be back, better then ever. ;P to the nay sayers.Sure, i can wait a couple of months for all that.And yeah, so. My question has been answered after all. 0.17 it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deadshot462 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I can see Silisko adding Omicron Persei 8.Kerbals, meet LRRR.He will raise your planet\'s temperature by 1 million degrees, every day, until you deliver MOAR BOOSTARS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z00111111 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Center of mass, thrust, lift and drag visual cues on the construction scenes.I think that may well be the feature I\'m most looking forward to from 0.17 so far.I hope this all means 0.18 will have docking in it. I\'d love to assemble stations/deep space missions/surface bases from smaller sections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOOMH Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I just hope it isn\'t a carbon copy of our Solar system. Please no Murs or Kupiter, be creative. (Though Kupiter is unlikely as a name since Nova hates the K names). I kinda hope they have more than 8 planets , I think twelve planets be a great amount if they make them relatively unique.

(Though Kupiter is unlikely as a name since Nova hates the K names). I kinda hope they have more than 8 planets , I think twelve planets be a great amount if they make them relatively unique.It\'s likely to be very similar to our star system. I believe Harv has even stated this before. The familiarity with our own solar system will help people better understand what they are doing if the two systems have some resemblance. As for the names, it\'s unlikely to be a bunch of K themed names. Cheers!Capt\'n SkunkyKSP Community Manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaydeeDem Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Planets aside, I am seriously exited for the CoG indicator and the scenario maker. Also, with physics timewarp, we can finally have at least some kind of docking. Ex. Grab with landing legs, physics timewarp, get it now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
