Superpluto126 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 (edited) SUPERPLUTO126 PRESENTS…… DISTANT SKIES:A KSP MODPACK. What is Distant Skies? Distant skies has been a long dream of mine, this project was inspired by several other mods, such as ‘Galaxies Unbound’ ‘Infinite Discoveries’ and ‘Interstellar adventure revived’. Distant Skies seeks to add a Truly Significant amount of TRUE star systems to the game. Not only that, but it is also based heavily on real life solar systems. The Closest Star is Alpha Centauri, and I also have granted myself more artistic liberties here and added extra planets and moons when possible that are within the confines of realism. There are no habitable worlds in the nearest stars to kerbol, and even the atmospheres are scarce at best. You will have to get Crafty if you want to engineer craft to go here. How many Stars/Systems does this mod intend to add in the end? Yes, I dont even have a solid figure lol, I have an entire doc for a to-do list and half of it is systems i intend to add. You are free to make suggestions in the Discord for interesting stars with planets (Or even those that dont!). Of course I will be adding Tau Ceti, Epsilon Eridani and Trappist. I will also be adding more obscure systems, such as L-59 and Kepler 444. Why are the planets low quality?Where are the scatterers and Eve Atmospheres? Why are the Red Dwarves not red? I am new to planet modding, thus, don't expect starcrusher level stuff from me yet. Sunflares, clouds, better atmospheres are something I want too. There are no Biomemaps yet or Rational resources support, this is a VERY wip mod. Also before you ask I am aware of the issues on Proxima D, a Revamp of the planet is WIP. How Can I Help this mod in development? Playing it, making suggestions, and engagement. That is both very much a morale boost and helpful to diagnosing issues, making changes and improving all of our experiences.

iamdonooo Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Hi, I'm currently playing with your mod, but I have an issue. When I try to leave Kerbin's sphere of influence, I end up with a trajectory intersecting Alpha Centauri instead of Kerbol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisOhmiras Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 What are the dependencies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Liao Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 (edited) Suggestion: Procyon (Even though it doesn't have confirmed planets yet afaik, it's a F-type star and those are rare and interesting. It also has a white dwarf companion. I could see a nice habitable moon of a hot neptune orbiting there ) In the same vein, Sirius A + B.

I am going to include Procyon and LOTS of other stars that don't have systems eventually. Izar, Betelguese and Altair are among these stars. I am actually getting somewhat close to finishing the next update, which will be adding scatterer+Basic Eve support plus at least 2 (And One incomplete) Star System, Along with Dozens of background stars that will eventually have planets :).

Leigh89 Posted Friday at 05:20 PM Share Posted Friday at 05:20 PM I am having problems with my ships suddenly orbiting alpha centauri a when in fact they are still less far out from kerbin than jool. Then try as i might i cannot get it to be in kerbols sphere of influence again making navigation impossible. Bugged for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
