greghorst Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 With the new purchase system for R&D being implemented this got me thinking. Wouldn't it be cool if you could spend your "Science" to discover minor bodies like Asteroids or Comets? When you buy it, an object would be put into a random Kerbol orbit like a ship would. That would allow you to try and do a rendezvous mission. Also, since it has a random orbit and acts as a ship or debris, it could "collide" with a planet giving you a possible Armageddon situation to deal with if you desire. Just a thought.

Captain Sierra Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 It's certaintly a fascinating concept. That being said, there are already plans for an asteroid belt and I believe that there was some chatter on the forums regarding something like the Kipper belt was well, which would effectively nullify the need for this.

Dieselpower Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Coincidentally I was thinking the same the other day. I believe it is a great concept and it would eliminate the need of implementing - and thereby the rendering and calculations - of a full-fledged asteroid belt.

SargeRho Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 If the asteroid belt is added, it would be nice if we'd have to spot those bodies first before knowing they are there. In Career mode at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
