dragonfree97 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 (edited) http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/forum/entry.php/60-Om-nom-nomenclatureAww. I was hoping for Meander. But never mind, I'm glad you've got them all sorted now.

khyron42 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 The Spice Must Flow!They're definitely names that I can enjoy. My predeliction towards puns makes me want to go with Ikean for the Ike adjective, but then I've been a longtime support of "minmal" as the minmus adjective.I'd also advocate for Joolian for Jool, especially if its orbital period just happened to be 365.25 days... Moho is already enough of a pun on the planet's nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMoog Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Pretty cool names Nova. I especially like Jool and Duna. I would have preferred Charr to Moho though, sounds more badass.I can't wait to put a kerbal or three on each one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhnifong Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Nice job. Can't wait to visit all these exotic places and set up my trans-kerbolsystem empire. I aim to have a recons sats and a ready-for-anything rescue vehicle in orbit around every body and a permanent ground base on each body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karolus10 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I wish to ask to Devs, how will develop pressure/density indicator in 0.17 - actual one is quite primitive and are useful only for Kerbin . Pressure/Density scale could work for all planets and will help indicate "crush" pressure in gas giant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptRobau Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Thanks for the names. Now I've been able to finish my graphic, which shows the 0.17 solar system, as I was stuck on the names:The relative proportions are true where applicable (ie. the bodies where we have the radius of). The distances between planets are a guestimate based on screenshot. The rest is just artistic liberty.Hope you like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erkle64 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I would have preferred Charr to Moho though, sounds more badass.I assume it refers to 'MohoroviÄÂić discontinuity', how's that less badass than burnt wood? Besides, in Total Annihilation, the Moho Mine is the better version of the Metal Extractor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NannerManCan Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Gilly should be smaller. Nova said it had a 26km radius i think. Comparing that to minmus of 120km Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

what-the Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 The names seem good. Easy to remember and should cause little confusion when talked about. Also I have updated my picture of the solar system. New blog link to solar system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spikeyhat09 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 (edited) the water moon must have an atmosphere, otherwise it would be a ice-moonwhat if its like Io (or possibly Europa) where its parent planet's immense gravitational force along with that of nearby moons churns the inside and heats it up?

Pyre Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 It would still need an atmosphere to have liquid water at the surface. Otherwise it would be an covered in ice(with an ocean underneath). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikolai Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 It would still need an atmosphere to have liquid water at the surface. Otherwise it would be an covered in ice(with an ocean underneath).Technically true, but it's also the case that if Minmus' lakes were actually frozen methane, that should be sublimating at Kerbin's distance from Kerbol, right?I think the devs are concentrating more on making the Kerbal System fun more than worrying about simulating chemical state transitions accurately. Different things break different people's sense of mimesis; I'm sure there's someone out there still muttering to themselves about Kerbin's impossible density and insisting that the game makes no sense on that basis.As far as I'm concerned, the devs can do as they please. They seem to be making good decisions so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I hope Laythe does have an atmosphere, that way i can use parachutes to help land on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovaSilisko Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 what if its like Io (or possibly Europa) where its parent planet's immense gravitational force along with that of nearby moons churns the inside and heats it up?Ding ding! Although, it does have an atmosphere thicker than Kerbin's, the tidal forces are my explanation as to why it's kept liquid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
