Explosion Damage

[Pinkieseb]

Of course the KSC would be immortal, but for the rest of Kerbin and moons and all the other planets. If a ship crashes, wheres the explosion's crater?!

So heres my suggestion, when something crashes it courses a crater, of course in options you could turn this feature off if you have a bad computer.

Well, you see I do not belive Unity can do such a thing

Kerbal Space Battlefield. I'd love to destroy Minmus.

I don't think destructible objects on this scale would be possible though.

According to the wiki, they're going to implement KSC damage if you crash into the buildings and you'll have to pay for repairs. Though, that'll probably be after they get career mode sorted out.

As for craters and things...I don't think they're able to do that or if they could, it'd take a while to program. I think Harvester might've mentioned something to do with that when he was talking about the procedural craters we've got on the Mun right now. I don't really recall the specifics, but I think he was considering some type of 3D decal type thing that pops up at a crash site because actually cratering the surface would be too complicated and kill peoples' PCs. Or something. I don't really remember, I'd say go look that blog post up and see for yourself >_>

I'm pretty sure that if you hit a planet, it would stop for a few seconds, and then a crater would pop up and you would explode. But, like Beeman said, a 3D decal "type thing" might work.
