Planet Ideas

[Zaeo]

Hey, not bad in the ps department, but there are some extra effects you should take into consideration with ringed planets: Ring shadow and Ring shine. When light from our star hits Saturn's rings, because of the general composition being relatively reflect-y it shines onto the planet's surface, as well as casts a shadow depending on its orientation to the sun. the shadow is more prevalent on the day side, whereas the shine is more prevalent on the night side*this is because the rings have a larger diameter than the planet, thus it allows excess light from the rings to bounce to a greater degree.

good looking stuff... don't stop, keep it up... keep going...

Kyrian is actually a close resemblance (Well, more like the actual thing) to a planet that my little kerbal empire (Conrix) settled on. This happened after resources on kerbin became to low, and thus the empire left Kerbin

[kerbinorbit]

No, they're mini Bops.

Mini Gillies and Bops?

[Dockillar]

Yesssss, more gas giants to fail at areobreaking! XD

[rdude71]

Man, those lens flares...

You put JJ Abrahms to shame!

[ASTRO_alec106]

I can't wait for new planets, especially that the gas giant with rings, that would be so cool.

[Roderik]

they are pretty cool but don't belong here but in the development suggestion (altough u may not suggest plants there:( )

[SuperWeegee4000]

I have an idea for a planet that's oblong, like this:

Sort of that color, too.

[Mitchz95]

Very nice pics! I agree a ringed gas giant is a must, though I'd make it light purple like this (but with more defined rings, of course).

A super Earth (Neptune-sized terrestrial planet) would be awesome, especially if it looked like Aelion. Naturally it would have lots of moons. Though I'm not sure it would be possible to return from the surface.

Kyrian might work better in a different star system, if the devs ever add one. Two habitable bodies in one solar system is enough; three would be overkill.

One idea I had, though I'm not sure if it's possible, would be to have a cluster of dwarf planets (or maybe asteroids) in a shared orbit. One planet with a few similarly sized moons, each with a few of their own similarly sized moons. All of them roughly 50 km across. Those would be pretty challenging to land on, and the view from the surface would be amazing.

Wow! that red gas giant looks beautiful.

[One-Way Films]

If possible, a planet the size of Eve twice the distance from the Sun (Kerbol) as Eelloo. And could it have a noticeable, blue atmosphere as well?

[gustomundo]

Loved them all! A gas giant with rings would be awesome!

[Zuni]

Beautiful, but for one thing. The asteroid field looks like a bunch of pictures of gilly taped on XD

[kola2DONO]

That asteroid field looks awesome! I wish squad will add asteroids one day..

[AHO]

These are great! I'd love to see them added into the game somday.

[123nick]

Nice!

I hope they implement that gas giant. For the pure fact that it has rings.

Is all my "I want rings!" rants getting through? PLEASE?

Anyways, nice work, bro!

if you want rings, you should try kragretheas planet factory mod. adds ringed planets.

[wasmic]

When Krag's planet mod gets a proper API, this needs to be a thing. Seriously.

Kyrian

A planet with an atmosphere. It has small lakes too! It has the half size of Kerbin.

Awesome, I'm a planet! If this becomes a mod, you bet I'll have it installed!

Mm-hm. Some more planet ideas. I have an offer for you: provide me with colour and height maps of each planet, and I will code them into KSP, just for fun

[Marten2Productions]

(as a response to AHO) If I am provided with colour and height maps of each planet (gas giants need colour maps only) I am fully able to code them into celestial bodies

[Othuyeg]

How about a small planetoid just a bit closer to sun than what kerbin is and the planet itself is completely covered in water. It could be just the size of minmus and the sea would be very deep so the planet would basically be just a ball of water floating in space with an atmosphere and thick clouds to keep it from freezing.

[KSK]

Nice work! To me Kyrian looks like Minmus before it froze.
