Sbowyer28 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Nova I doubt you'll see this but I read that with the terrain generator we couldn't create Gas giants, So did you find a way around that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vexx32 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Upon closer inspection, that last transmission pic looks suspiciously like a rover... the shape is pretty much spot-on for a squaroid rover. Pretty small, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anomalous_Matter Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I'm still betting on it being a simple orbiting satellite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blade_N Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 What about engines powered by the sun? You could attach solar panels which slowly gives you "fuel" for solar-powered engines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atimed Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 It's the space Kraken that was accidentally killed by Jeb on his way to low sun orbit.ŽIon based engines, but they still need some propellant to push the craft.. they cant just use electricity..

Bekiekutmoar Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 It appears the purple planet has an atmospheric pressure of 10x that of Kerbin and 10% more gravity. A trip to the planet looks lika a one-way ticket with the current rocket parts. However, on the only presented pic of the purple planet, it seems a rocket is hanging underneath a balloon ... ! Maybe a balloon will be one of the newer parts ... ? Could come in handy when travelling in extremely dense atmospheres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Thobewill Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 The rocket's hanging underneath parachutes, not balloons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klldarkness Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 This next update appears to have a huge amount of content, yet Harvester considers them all to be small updates. I have to wonder what exactly would be considered a "Large" update. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khrissetti Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 What about engines powered by the sun? You could attach solar panels which slowly gives you "fuel" for solar-powered engines?All conventional (Read: non-hyperpace/warp etc) engines need a propellant to expel in order to push a craft, the only way you could have thrust just from the sun with conventional technology is a solar sail.

dragonfree97 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Do we know the name of the desert planet? I'm assuming the purple one is Eve and the green one is Meander. There weren't any more planets revealed yet, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a1fonzo Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Here is the retouched picture from awhile back, now, try to tell me that over on the left there isn't something tht looks like an eye and a set of jaws. The texture of the top area suggests a underwater picture being taken, and there is something that oddly resembles a space shuttle looking thing to the left. Also, Nova said only one idea has been close to guessing what it is.Ding ding ding I believe we have a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
