t_v Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Well if you look at the new dev diary, there is a planetoid where the tips are moving fast enough to almost match orbital speed. I think they removed the video again but we’ll see it tommorow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t_v Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 There was a new dev diary released for a few minutes today before it was retracted. Apparently it was supposed to be the Friday showcase. In any case, some celestial bodies were shown and that was one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staticalliam7 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Hades A planet similar to eve, it has a noticeable dark red atmosphere. It has two moons, H-1 and H-2. It has very active volcanoes and rugged terrain. It has a small ocean composed of methane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthgently Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 (edited) A small and very quickly spinning icy moon that is so perfectly smooth that any craft landing on it slides around the planet in a "litho orbit" nearly perpetually. In fact, if a lander perfectly matches the surface velocity and so isn't sliding after landing, the spin rate would hurl it back into space on an escape vector except very near the poles; thankfully the friction is way too low for this to really happen. Current Kerbal theory is that it is possibly not a natural formation. Evidence is inconclusive as every research base built there eventually collides with a mysterious sliding green monolith that has a difficult to predict instantaneous surface location and velocity relative to the base First person to give it a name that doesn't contain "Mc" or "Face" names it. So no "Slicky McSlickFace" for example Edited October 29, 2021 by darthgently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The side facing away from its sun is frozen and the side facing its sun is scalding hot, but between these two is a habitable ring of perpetual twilight. I also want a tidally locked planet with very different light and dark sides. I thought I read that Puff (the eyeball planet) was suspected tobe a bit like this. What I want to see, is a tidally locked planet that has undergone atmospheric collapse. That is that the cold side is so cold, that components of the atmosphere begin to condense /freeze on the dark side. This thins the atmosphere, the heat transfer to the dark side via convection decreases, the night side temperature drops even more, and the cycle continues until all the atmosphere is frozen on the dark side... Imagine a Kerbin sized world, in the "habitable zone" with no atmosphere, and C02 and nitrogen ice on the dark side, with water ice underneath. * I realize that, as far as getting to and from orbit, this would be essentially like Tylo, but with 25% higher gravity (assuming that its Kerbin sized, at 1G surface)... but Tylo is rather unrealistic and this tidally locked world that suffered atmospheric collapse would be realistic. It would also be a bit more interesting than Tylo because the tidal locking to a star rather than planet results in a side with permenant shadow, and greater potential thermal issues - but landing near the terminator allows for continuus solar power at a reasonable or even pleasant ambient temperature. It would also make for a quite distinct difference in the two halves of the planet (and the resource distribution). I for one think it would be interesting. On 9/21/2021 at 1:55 AM, ffx said: Too generic, will be boring fast Well, to be honest, a lot of the suggestions and actual planets in KSP 1 and that have been shown in KSP2 could be dismissed like this. Puff/the eyball planet? a world with one big liquid crater? you see the crater, make a base on its shore... aside from that, is there anything interesting about the planet? Laythe: a near featureless ocean world. Has bulk properties basically just like kerbin, including oxygen. Moho/Mun/Dres/Ike/ barren rocky ball, but the transfer orbits to get to them are different. And a more generic complaint about many of the suggestions here: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SingleBiomePlanet Edited November 22, 2021 by KerikBalm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlutoISaPlanet Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Maybe we should get more analog planets and moon (basicly glumo). Some have talked about a Neptunr or Uranus analog, but I would love to see a Pluto analog with the red material and the icebergs. Pluto is beautiful.

tremonthedgehog Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 unnamed a planet that has half of kerbins gravity not breathable but jets work it has two ring one polar and one equatorial with moons in elliptical orbit that pass through both rings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sturmhauke Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Moons in polar orbits can only happen if they are captured by the planet's gravity. There are no known examples in our own solar system, although there are some highly inclined lunar orbits. Ring systems are short-lived compared to the lifetime of a planet. The ring particles are easily disturbed by gravity, and a polar moon would tend to pull them out of the ring formation even faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staticalliam7 Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Gonna pull something from my mod of a completely unrelated game: Eutis Eutis is a red planet similar to Mars, however, it has almost double the amount of earth's gravity. It's red color is due to oxidation of raw iron, and could potentially host lif- What is this? A history book? C'mon the boys in research could have made it more interesting. Basically, lots of iron = moola which equals more rockets to go to other planets, and that equals more moola. Hopefully. Anyways I'm out. BACK TO WORK INTERN!

Ember12 Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Rel is a huge (6-8 times Jool mass) milky white Hot Jupiter. Because it’s so close to its star, is only has one moon, Thera. Rel is tidally locked around its star, resulting in permanent winds in the atmosphere blowing toward the dark side. The atmosphere has streaks slightly darker than the white of the planet, which radiate outward from the center of the star-facing side. Thera was initially a planet, but was captured by Rel’s gravity. Now it’s tidally locked around Rel, but when it formed it was spinning very fast, causing many heavy, rare elements to be pushed up to the surface in a band around the equator. So Thera is very rich in resources, but it has twice Kerbins’s gravity and a really thick atmosphere, so getting anything into orbit is hard. And it orbits very close to Rel, so getting Theran resources out of Rel’s SOI is extremely challenging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyperspace Industries Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 (edited) Ys (Afrikaans for ice): A small rogue planet with a radioactive core enabling Pluto like cryovolcanoes, with a frozen nitrogen layer that used to be an atmosphere. Made challenging due to having no light at all and being slightly slippery, a challenge based on this would be to circumnavigate it (no visibility beyond your lights and barely any traction would make it quite interesting.) As (pronounced: Us, afrikaans for Ash.): A super hot rocky planet getting vaporized by it's local star, similar to Kepler 1520 b. Challenging due to the gas jets pushing you away, immense radiation and the heat, which would limit you to the most low heat propulsion systems for fear of following the planets lead (aka: being vaporized) luckily you can very easily scavenge from the local fusion reactor (aka: star).

KingKerb Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 I want to see a planet with oceans of something like liquid oxygen or nitrogen instead of water. Not sure what it would be called, but I still think it would be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axelord FTW Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Now that I think about it, sharp surface features are (effectively) non-existent in KSP1, so it would be nice to have them in KSP2. Cliffs, canyons, mountains with slopes over 45 degrees... That sort of things where you could legitimately kill a Kerbal by stepping where you shouldn't. Kerbin has some really steep mountains, which is nice, but it's kinda unique to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be pretty awesome! Yeah it's totally insane, but I have an idea for a KSP-like video game, free and open-source, with a planet maker (official) and one or two new systems each one or two updates. Then players will propose planets, the devs will compose several realistic systems with them (in squid way (I'll use squids instead of kerbals)) and the players will vote for the one that would be added officially to the game.

Of course the planet would have 12 sides, numbered from 1 to 12, the numbers are visible from the map view.

Well, that's like Sun or Neptune, both have same properties (kinda). Also, got an idea: a planet about 42 km in diameter with an irregular surface (something between Pol and Bop), cliffs, steep slopes, and a procedurally-generated underground cave system (like what I expected on Tylo, not a dumb roof-like thing) where you could build a base, a monorail or whatever. The tunnels would be 5-meter wide and high and with a roughly circular section. Coloration would be Tylo's one. And why not having a cool ragdoll for Kerbals when they hit the ceiling, like a "OW !" message in the message list -- as you have when you complete or fail a contract. Would need removing the "timewarp teleportation" or you could never land something inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
