Puddinsky Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 I have been playing KSP since before it had planets. But as soon as it had planets, you know the community started modding realistic size Earth in. Many love the bigger challenge and the sense of home. With KSP2, there will be multiple star systems. So my really obvious take is, why not just make one of those systems our solar system. It does not have to be populated or even 100% accurate. I think many players will jump at the chance to "discover" Earth and launch from there. I realize it won't be a quick or easy to implement. But if you already have the tools. I would say why not go with the obvious choice and add something most players would love. As for the realistic rockets. I'm sure that's a different discussion all together, though the procedural parts may just scratch that itch anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSP is about exploring the unknown. I have no doubt though that KSRSS will get ported to KSP 2 once modding is fully unlocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garithmar Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 I think the game should come with a simple scaling function to allow the player to decide how big or small the solar system and planets are. I know this would include a ton more work but just adding that function in without actual assets would at least allow the modding community to easily accomplish the task for those who want it.

The Aziz Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 You're never going to get good results if you just scale something up And we're talking about 3D space, that additional dimension adds its own problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
