rkman Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I think you\'re confusing the meaning there. I believe rkman is talking about the Kerbol system being a different one then ours.You probably mean that\'s what kacperrutka26 means, and you\'re probably correct. My mistake.

schwarzwolf Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Wow, thats actually a very long feature list for the next update. Yust wonder a bit that the docking isn\'t included. But i tought the features would be docking and IVA and thats it. But this list ist even better and way longer. But think this could take a bit longer to be finished.To the red:I like the last one most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zpox357 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I am actualy more interested in the moon in the upper right of nova\'s third photo. Do you think the moons on these planets will be radically different to the Mun? Like Phobos, one of the moons of mars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplemunrockets Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 We may actually need another magnitude time warp. I am sending and space craft to and 81,000,000 km Ap, which is actually Jupiter\'s orbit scaled to the Kerbol system. It\'s crawling along at Jupiter distance.EDIT: Also we\'re going to need the ability to zoom out more. And a Kerbol-centered camera mode wouldn\'t hurt.

Seanoog Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Lots of bright colours. I especially liked the first Red planet, with lander on platue, nice deep, loud red that gives the planet a sense of extreme heat an eariness to it. Planet Request:Can yous please make a planet thats like Pandora from Avatar.Small habital Moon with blue ocean\'s, green vegitation, some high moutains, open plain\'s. Thats orbiting a massive Blue Gas Giant (Polyphemus).The idea I have is that astronaughts, land on Moon planet, an can look into the sky, an have this massive Blue Gas Giant fill the sky, day or night, once at the right allighnment, an if Jeb\'s particularily silly try orbiting the Gas Giant. - The ultimate Vista.See Wiki for Gas Giant Details. @ http://james-camerons-avatar.wikia.com/wiki/PolyphemusAs always from great work Dev\'s...

drwolf Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 is not the problem with planets like this, when thay go behind the gas giant the tempricher drops to below freezing. its hard for life to evolve on a plant that goes from tropical to antarctic in les then a month?.

Thobewill10 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Please, no pandora. A wholly original system inspired by ours but significantly different would be much more interesting. No planets with life, other than maybe europa-like planets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accelerando Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Space isn\'t a 2D plane guys, a planet in orbit around a gas giant may have sufficient inclination as to almost never come into its shadow. It\'s also worth noting that the orbital period of Callisto, which is sometimes cited as a target for human exploration of the Jovian system for the lesser radiation it receives, has an orbital period of 16 days, little of which is spent in Jupiter\'s shadow. Saying that a planet would become uninhabitable for passing behind its parent gas giant is like saying Earth should be uninhabitable because nighttime exists.And come up with something more original than Pandora, please.

Omega500 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 What about a lifeless system But signs of a interstellar ancient civilization from millions of yrs ago And all this ancient tech they find about can only work as Jeb has some kinda ancient gene or somthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoot Knight Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 You all know it was already said how Kerbol\'s system is going to be made.The main idea is that the general layout will be the same (4 rocky planets, 4 gas giants with moons), but the appearance and content of all these planets is up in the air.So bringing up concepts for bodies that we don\'t even have in a system that was already said to be close to the solar system is just silly.

fong Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Will the in-cockpit view be part of a more general inside view?Will we be able to walk around anywhere in a kerbal 1st person view?Are you planning on using the catwalk on the launch tower to have the pilots walk into the cockpit before takeoff?

Guest butt head Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 i just though that then we are doing ivas will there be windows that we can use to look out side and will it be what is really out side or a back round image? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ntmoore19 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I liked the first red design, very foreign, the updated color looks abit like brown earth soil.I suppose you don\'t realize this but the 2nd red is much more what Mars looks like. Mars is a rusty brown, not brick red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don\'t quote me on it though, I\'m not 100% sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accelerando Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 If the internal views are implemented as part of the habitat capsules themselves (which seems to be the case) based on that post in '.16 easter eggs,' it seems to me it would be redundant to paint a background texture on the windows when you\'re still operating within the actual game scene. I don\'t know either, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I\'m not able to find the post, I remember HarveserteR stated that the cockpit interiors are not located in the actual world space but you will be able to see through windows through some kind of \'game camera magic\'.

Oicani Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Something I\'d like to see in 0.17\'s planets is more interesting landscapes.Currently we pretty much only have really soft, midly interesting hills.Canyons, immense mountains, rivers, plateaus in extreme altitudes, please?
