Watermel00n Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Me and @JNSQFan have a suggestion : is it possible to have an option to increase the radius of the planets to x2.5 scale? New players can turn the option off. It would make my day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t_v Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 I would also love this as the e balance feels much better (but I understand the scale for new players). Several issues though. First, if you want a harder set of planets, there are harder planets that are already in the game. An alternative to rescaling the Kerbol system is to allow players to start in a more difficult environment. This does deprive you of a balanced kerbolar experience though. Second thing, the same argument that applies to adding RSS applies here. The work is much less, but to get consistent experience the devs need to create a framework to make terrain work at larger scales, adding more terrain instead of having a lower definition larger surface. They could do this but chances are that it will be lower quality than expected and will deter modders from implementing their own solutions, which could be as good as the stock one.

Watermel00n Posted January 23, 2022 Author Share Posted January 23, 2022 hmm, i see ur point... lets see what the devs think abt it 1 hour ago, t_v said: An alternative to rescaling the Kerbol system is to allow players to start in a more difficult environment The opposite would work, putting the new player on a duna-like planet with roughly stock 3400 m/s to orbit, even in x2.5 scale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HebaruSan Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Have the developers announced what the stock scales will be in KSP 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's said in the very beginning after the game was announced. The Kerbol system is not changing, just an art pass. I'm thinking it was the interview with ShadowZone where Nate answered the scale question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vertuhalo Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 I think this is a pretty good idea because kerbin or muna looks like toys now, i think kerin should look like jul and muna like kerbin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandaman Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Not in itself a silly idea, but... One big downside to just 'scaling up' is that EVERYTHING gets scaled up and can look out of proportion when a Kerbal is present. Hills would be 2.5x higher, rivers 2.5x wider etc. It could also look 'low resolution' as a result. Move 2.5x closer to your screen and you'll get the idea. To fix all that would take a LOT of work.
