kacperrutka26 Posted August 10, 2012 Author Share Posted August 10, 2012 Guys, I know this is a discussion thread, but why argue about a colour of a planet? The game its self doesnt need to be realistic, E.g, Minmus: Not realistic because it's not in our solar system and how can it be frozen when it's closer to the sun than kerbin is at times. So the green gas giant can be anything HarvesterR or all the other devs want. Talking of realism, we havent got humans in the game have we? We have green little people that fly rockets for a living.

zarniw00p Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I like the idea of an intensely green colored gas giant. The images in Novas album are nice but seem a little monotone.If you google images of Jupiter you'll see that it's not just brown, but multi-colored with different shades of white, brown, orange and gray. Novas green gas giant is well ... just light and dark green, which is nice but compared to Jupiter it seems to lack a lot of detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovaSilisko Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 The gas planet's green color is going to be toned down a bit, as well as re-painted with more detail. The blue moon is going to be redone to include continents, instead of tiny islands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zpox357 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Wait, Will the blue moon have an atmosphere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovaSilisko Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 The atmosphere won't be breatheable, and there isn't going to be any life. The only thing stopping it from being covered in ice (like the second moon) is tidal heating caused by its close orbit to the gas giant and the orbital resonance with the two moons outward from it.

Will the water be all murky (a similar color to the landscape) or still blue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckunlimited2 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I think the green on the gas giant is rather striking and exciting. However Just making it completely green makes it very one dimensional and, one can also argue, quite bland.I'm throwing out a suggestion that our planets and moons, not just the gas giant, should be more multicolored. As an example, the gas giant can have a color palette stretching from vibrant green, to a yellowish green. a mixture of whitish green can be added. Maybe a sandy yellow to to give it more of an earthy feel.(I'm an artist, I like colors ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMadGameplay Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I like the green colour because Kerbals are green and It gives colour to the solar system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xemit Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I personally think that a stripy blue gas giant kinda like this one from Space Engine would look much better. Except maybe more saturated (only slightly) to make it fit the style more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or even a planet where the oceans are not made of water (like methane, or other weird stuff for example). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could have a "Lost" in Space ... ;-)The other Planets/Moons look briliant on the pix by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soonerfan237 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I like the green colour because Kerbals are green and It gives colour to the solar system I like the green color. I just think it's a bit too bright. Either way I'm sure I'll end up enjoying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EleSigma Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Even though it won't be added in this version, have you guys planned on what weather patterns and types each planet will have when weather is added? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in reply to someone else I think that the gas planet should have bands of yellow-green or yellow-blue. I can't quote the person, replying from my phone.

NannerManCan Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I can't wait for this update! But I would have thought they should add reentry heat before adding planets, atleast ones with atmosphere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
