Cool comet particle effects


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Hello kerbonauts. Recently, I decided to take a look into the in-game Rosetta mission, as practice for some carreer comet contracts. I managed to get little Philae safetly atatched to 67P, and then just left time warp on cuz I wanted to see the comet tails (I completed the mission pretty much at comet apoapsis, and therefore couldn't see the tails yet)

As the comet drew closer than Duna orbit, the tails appeared, but, oh boy. Comets are a lot more detailed than I once thought

 

Apart from the two tail particle types, there apparently exist two more, these being jets (which periodically burst from the comet) and snowflakes (constantly emmiting from the comet itself)

 

I couldn't find this documented this anywhere else, so I suppose I finally have something interesting to add to the wiki :) 

Props to the KSP team!
