Gas planet two

[Psycix]

So when we don't get a new planet for christmas, we will all have to go:

༼ 㤠◕_â—• ༽㤠GIVE GASPLANET 2

Squad you have been warned.

The chirstmas gift will be a green-red gas planet with a candy cane belt and snow moons.

Indeed, There should be comets in asteroids, But they should be so that you can edit they're orbit by putting a base on the little thing and pushing it with engines on the surface facing up, Somewhat like a giant rocket, probably you will never get the asteroid again unless you quick load because it has fallen into an atmosphere, unless that of course you want to keep your asteroid/comet, don't make it fall into Kerbin or Jool. But, like Psycix said,

༼ 㤠◕_â—• ༽㤠GIVE GASPLANET 2

Squad you have been warned.

Too obvious. Plus the next one will (most likely) be the analogue of saturn and not uranus.

I see this thread has been visited by a necromancer. I will add in my thoughts for now:

-Recently, we heard about the NASA asteroid mission pack, which is at least going to be a free set of missions featuring moving an asteroid off a Kerbin impact trajectory. It will, naturally, feature asteroids.

-From the reports, it sounds like Harvester and a lot of the devs are busy working on this for now. It may come out with 0.24, maybe not. For this reason it is likely Gas Planet 2 will not show up, unless they decide to throw it in as an extra.

-It is not clear whether asteroids will go into the main game or not. As I mentioned in another thread, if the hardware requirements are increased significantly, the developers may keep it as a separate mission pack.

-The gas giant planets are planned to have a ring of small moons, which may just carry a designation like "hurr durr minor moon 18375", so having asteroids in the game may help with creating a new experience for gas giant 2.

-Last year we heard that Kerbal Space Program needs to be able to manage the memory better to cope with more planets, and it is not currently 64-bit except for Linux, because of serious game-breaking bugs in Unity. The devs may have already fixed the memory use issues regarding planets.
