awsumguy76801 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 I think there should be more emphasis in the new game that laythe is a cold place. it already has polar ice caps so it would be a nice feature if ice bergs would be randomly generated around the planet sort of like how asteroids are generated. they would appear more frequently the closer you get to the poles because of the lower temperature it would also be funny if kerbals tried to walk on them they will slip and fall or freak out trying to hold their balance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerbin needs them, and so do other planets and moons with oceans and ice caps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laxez Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Fun fact, while reading this post I asked myself "does Laythe have icy poles like Kerbin?" so i went to KSP i built a shuttle style plane attached to an obviously giant rocket, and i left for Laythe, after an hour i arrived on Laythe and as i re-entered the atmosphere i noticed that there was a target at the north pole , apparently I had already been to the north pole of Laythe hahaha. An hour well spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pthigrivi Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 (edited) Love this idea, though I think because Laythe is kept warm by tidal heating rather than solar gain you would have a much more even distribution of temperature. There might still be ice bergs from land glaciers but they wouldn’t be concentrated at the polls (I don’t think?)
