Proceduraly Generated Star Systems

[Scoutman1121]

Alright, so here is my suggestion. When making a new game in KSP, you should be given the option to use the ordinary KSP system, or use a larger proceduraly generated star system. This might be laggy for poor machines but that's why it should be an option. You should be able to set the number of generated. This is just an idea, as I find the Kerbin star system is small, there could be more to explore. Besides, leaving the star system of Kerbol doesn't have any benefits as far as I know. So why not having a procedurally generated star system?

Been requested dozens of times. Probably never coming; we need a reference point to compare our achievements, and interstellar travel is out of scope for the development.

Do we really need a way to compare our archievements?

Indeed would challanges coming with the DLC be more interesting if they could be shared with a new reference system?

I think that just the Kerbol system randomized (different planets, moons)  is good enough. No need to create a whole galaxy.

Since KSP is a modern space flight based game, (and not a Sci-Fi or far future one). I dont think its going to be usefull.

If I'm reading @Scoutman1121's post correctly, I don't think he's talking about interstellar travel at all. Just an option to either play in the stock Kerbol system (so there's your reference point for comparing achievements) or play in a single procedurally generated system instead.

Sounds like a great idea to me however many times it's been requested. Throw in some kind of fog-of-discovery mechanic and suddenly you've got a decent exploration game.

If you play on PC you can give this a shot. But ResearchBodies-alike compatibility isn't going to happen...not soon anyway.
