Changes
 
- KSP 1.6 update

[Codapop]

Getting a bug with this mod where vessels and komets will travel along the orbit faster than expected, sometimes traveling in the opposite direction. Like I timewarp forward before a vessel and komet rendezvous, and then after jumping out of timewarp they both travel backwards. Using Hyperedit and AVP visual mods.

Can this be used in saves that have already been created?

Hello @Angel-125,

First Thank you for this great mod!

 

I don't want to bother you, but I'm working on setting up a new install (after not having played KSP for over 12 moths) and I was wondering,

if this mod does work in KSP 1.7.3 with Custom Asteroids?

It works in 1.7.3 but only with the stock asteroid spawn system.

Hello @Angel-125,

Thank you!

 

Is it possible to make it work with "Custom Asteroids"?

And does it work with "Kopernicus"-mods, like "JNSQ"?

Not sure if it works with Kopernicus, and it won't work with Custom Asteroids.

Does this mod require Kopernicus?

[Stone Blue]

@Angel-125 Wow.... cant believe this mod is already almost *TWO YEARS* old...
Seems like I remember first dev of it, just a few *months* ago...

Nope, it just adds a comet tail to random asteroids and alters their orbit, and adds a new comet experiment.

Egads, yeah! Some of my mods are even older...

What a great mod @Angel-125. Comets are such a 'common' space feature, it is odd that Squad didn't want to implement them. 

Besides the challenge of a very hard rendezvous, what else can comets be used for/with? They generate more science when compared to normal asteroids? They should, me thinks; besides it is a good way to reward the difficulty of approaching them.

Komets do have their own science experiment but I don’t remember the payout. They are just redressed asteroids so you can exploit their resources.

Does this mod use Kopernicus as a dependency?

No, it is a stand-alone mod.

This mod is in alpha stage, there is more work to do!

Is this still alpha?

Well, that was a long time ago, and I had plans that didn’t go anywhere, so I would say no, it’s done.

If you run KSP 1.10, I would agree. But not everyone is running KSP 1.10.. In fact I would say nobody is running 1.10 right now.

[Angelo Kerman]

Now that KSP 1.10 is out, we can see that the in-game comets do everything that I wanted to do with Kerbal Komets. I'm happy to say that I won't provide Kerbal Komets support for KSP 1.10. There are still people, including me, that use older versions so the mod will be around, but use it in KSP 1.10 at your own risk.

I just wanted to say thank you for providing a feature years before stock KSP implemented it.

There needs to be a special mod Valhalla subforum where mods that have been implemented in-game can retire honorably.

I always thought it'd be cool to recreate the current KSP in an older version with mods. I never got around to doing it though...
