Not really, honestly I think it's fine.

(You should see my other projects)...

Although I have one suggestion, maybe increase the rings brightness ever so slightly so that it's a little easier to see, because without it it looks as though there's nothing there.

Sure, I'll try to do that, but I do like the really faint rings.

First though, I have to make Milo.

This is looking very promising! Can’t wait to see the final result

Nope, I go to public school in Texas. Last year we started a week late because of Harvey, so this year we're going earlier a week. Online, of course.

Nice!

We get to go back, with masks and desks separated. And of course, hand sanitizer.

I can’t wait to download Valor, it really looks amazing!

So quick question-

Does Valor have a ‘crush point’ like Jool, or are we able to land on it?

And seeing as Kopernicus is it’s only dependency, when it gets updated will Valor be affected by this in anyway or would it still be compatible?

(I’m sorry, I’m no techno wizard)

I've templated Jool, so it should have a crush point. You shouldn't be able to land on it, as no PQS mods, no terrain, and such.

Not exactly sure what you mean here, but to be honest, Valor is literally a config, and doesn't use too much fancy features, so it should be fine going back to 1.8.1 (and maybe 1.7 if you want to push it). It should also be fine going forward, but a 1.10 Kopernicus hasn't been released yet.

Or, if you mean that when I finally get EVE working, it will break, it won't (hopefully). Once I get them up, though, you should have EVE and Scatterer compatibility, but it'll work fine without them too.

We Already have a Kopernicus 1.10.1:

I'm not Sure if it Works (VERY) well on 1.10.1 Though

So my Suggestion is wait for Weeks so we can Get a Stable Kopernicus 1.10.1...

Without Poking them for New Updates.

I myself haven't updated to 1.10 yet, so I'll be releasing for 1.9.1 in the meantime.

Yep,Like any other Kopernicus Mods/Planet packs,Like JNSQ,OPM,MPE,BH,KO,etc...

[Lewie]

Mm...I wonder if Valor would work with 1.10.....

welp, only one way to find out!

[Misguided Kerbal]

Well, I just checked Valor's spacedock page and...

22 DOWNLOADS? I didn't even expect one!

I live very far away, in Mexico, so what

 

[Misguided Kerbal]

So... didn't I say I was going to do Milo... well, I got a bit distracted:

Spoiler

Meet Theta's (WIP) texture!

 

Now that I've thought about it, I'm scrapping all of the moons except Bonx and Theta. I personally feel that there shouldn't be any "boring" moons. I'll also add Binx, but instead of being a moonlet of Bonx, it'll be in a high eccentric orbit.

I tried to view Theta in-game... and:

??????????????????????????

 

Edit:

I changed the heightmap to a png now, from dds before:

Now, just need to work on the texture a bit... and get rid of polar pinching, of course.

@Misguided_Kerbal this is simply amazing!

Can’t wait to ‘land’ on Valor....hehe....

In all seriousness, what tools did you use to create this? I think I might give it a whirl.

GIMP for the textures. If you want to make a planet, @The White Guardian has a great tutorial:

I'm currently waiting for a 1.9.1 KittopiaTech release, so I can do it much easier.

Currently, the textures aren't as good as they could be, dds doesn't work too well on my mac so I have to use png.

[Misguided Kerbal]

So, after working on Theta a bit today, I cheated a probe to Valor and Theta to see how it would look in-game:

Spoiler

Needless to say, I'm pretty satisfied with the results!

 

I've also edited the OP and the spacedock page.

I have a small comment, does Theta have any meaningful terrain features?

Not really. I was planning on adding a canyon though... maybe I'll put it in the 0.3 release.
