A Kerbal's Guide to our solar system

[FiahOwl]

Even better, why not make a binary planet that\'s so close to each other that it\'s actually one planet, with donut moons that has moon moons passing through it!

Or binary planets that share mesospheres!

[Spacecats!]

Or binary planets that share mesospheres!

FUCKING GENIUS.

[Kryten]

Or binary planets that share mesospheres!

Wouldn\'t that become one planet after about 20 seconds?

Or, more likely, a few thousand.

Well, we are talking about doughnut worlds and a 0.01 sun mass star with the habitable zone as far our as Gliese 581...

[Guest ThatCrazyPilot]

Jebidiah is very happy?! Icwatudidther 8)

[Guest GroundHOG-2010]

No DONUT WORLDS.

[NovaSilisko]

THERE WILL BE NO DONUT WORLDS STOP ASKING ABOUT IT >:C

[Guest GroundHOG-2010]

Wouldn\'t donut worlds be imposible.

[xzbobzx]

Edit; now we\'re talking about it, what about a binary planet with a donut planet around it\'s centre of gravity, so the stuff going from planet 1 to planet 2 first has to pass through the hole of the donut!

THERE WILL BE NO DONUT WORLDS STOP ASKING ABOUT IT >:C

YOU ARE FORGETTING WHAT KSP IS ALL ABOUT >:C

[NovaSilisko]

And you\'re forgetting that I\'M the one designing this system. It\'s MY project, it\'s not like I\'m deciding the future of the game. I think a donut planet sounds stupid, so I\'m NOT going to make one. If you don\'t like it, then I\'m sorry. If you want to discuss donut planets somewhere, then just make a thread in offtopic or something...

KSP is about tending to the good of Kerbalkind by constructing rockets capable of space travel and the planetary insertion of other celestial bodies. I don\'t get how doughnut-shaped worlds are relevant.

In other words the game itself may be silly anyway but it isn\'t Monty Python silly.

hm, im thinking on a natural side, maybe dwarf planets on the Kerpier belt and/or junk between egar and juturn they have strange properies, like one has a non-spherical shape(think Haumea in real life) or one with moons (Eris in real life)

also, i suggest Poosh(Juturns moon) is COVERED in ice and eve should, like the original pic, have thick clouds, i suggest they impede vision and increase air resistance(harder to get off the ground)

Lastly, Change the orbits on Jebadiah so they do NOT cross, it is understandable science that planets with crossing orbits WILL collide some time in Kerbal history

[mincespy]

KSP Should support custon star systems!

[Technical Ben]

Needs a solid diamond moon too.

[Spearka]

Needs a solid diamond moon too.

u srs?

would be more realistic if there were a carbon moon with a hydrocarbon atmosphere(you know, natural gas) sooty ground and the occasional patch of diamond

[NovaSilisko]

Eve\'s moon Faz is actually composed mostly of huge crystals, some of which have been broken off by a large impact and now are moonlets.

A crystal ring

[WX_Echo]

Brilliant graphics! I\'m excited for additional astronomical objects to be added to the game; when this happens, your solar system chart will be that much more meaningful.

[comradephil]

I want a lumpy planet, into which various moons have crashed. (Possibly a hole through it too)

Faz is very, very lumpy.

[thorfinn]

I have this feeling that modeling rings in a good way will be very, very hard for the engine... hope Harv finds a way, obviously.

[InnocentEX]

It will most probably just be all one object.

[NovaSilisko]

Just use a similar rendering system for clouds. A color map and an alpha map. But instead of cloud particles, make them look like millions of motes of dust (thousands per texture/sprite, mind you. We don\'t need to render millions of particles)
