The "new" Kerbol System


Recommended Posts

So how is it going to look like? Will it be "canonic" and, though graphically superior, adhere to what it already is in ksp1? Or are we getting new bodies?

My wish: Kerbol System stays the same, there is enough room for novelty in the new stars. However.... we could do with some minor surprises, like rings on Jool or perhaps a fantastic return of the magic boulder! Also: I wouldn't mind some anomalies being reworked as well. Though for me, the Neil Armstrong anomaly is sacrosaint and absolutelly has to remain there where it is.

 

What do you guys think?

The Kerbol system is staying the same, just improved graphically.

I hope they include OPM in their stock Kerbol system. As a miniaturised Sol system it feels like it's missing things out past Jool.

Same.  They already show some rings in the preview. So Sarnus(Saturn) is almost done since we'll fry trying to land on her.
Of course she's nothing without the well placed "shepherd moons" and TITAN analogue (I loved Tekto).
Uranus is just flipping the ring/rotation and more moons, Neptune is easy, Pluto is surprisingly harder because of the Barycenter with Charon, and of course 4 more moons.  They now have New Horizon's data to "clone" Pluto (or Plock)'s surface anyways =)

But this is something I've been wanting stock for years now...

Even just the Sarnus system would be a treat for me, in the sense that it presents a slightly greater risk/reward for people who've mastered the Jool system. The ice giants I could give or take, it's just more of the same beyond that, but I definitely want a Saturn-analogue as the "wow" plateau moment for mastering all of Kerbol, before going interstellar.

I always loved Uranus more than Saturn, but she is an absolute beauty, I'll give you that much.
Having new engineering challenges at Sarnus to overcome would be nice as well.  There's the obvious lack of sunlight, way worse than Jool.  But the last thing I want is cut'n'paste of existing Jool's moons like Tylo.
On the other hand things don't need to be annoying.  Just different... the change of scenery alone would be worth it.

Good thing Titan exists then. If we're lucky the KSP version will also support powered flight via flapping Kerbal wingsuits :D
