Stock System Overhaul

[wpetula]

The stock KSP system contains many unique environments celestial bodies, but there are several improvements that could be made.  Celestial body surfaces are sometimes extremely boring and monotonous, lacking interesting landscapes and surface scatters. From in space, some textures are low-res and/or blurry. The ocean floors of Eve, Kerbin, and Laythe are made of random noise instead of realistic trenches and ridges. Etc.

While I do not expect the devs of KSP 1 to redo the stock system (they did a great job, don't get me wrong!), I am curious to see what the community can come up with. Maintaining the fundamental aspects of the celestial bodies, how much can we improve the "base game" experience? It would be cool to see the community create a "Stock Overhaul" planet pack.

What do you guys think?
