Planet Marker Lights


Recommended Posts

This is just a little thing I've wanted to see in the game for a while now, nothing huge. I would just like to see a realistic looking little colored light where a planet is (not like a ship marker, kind of like how you can see Saturn at sunset) just so you know where the planet is. It could fade away when the planet reaches a distance where its barely visible without mods. You should also be able to switch it off in settings in case you have a telescope mod installed, where the light would block out the planet if you where looking at it from far away. It's nothing game changing, just a few dots.

You can already do this, it's just that the planets are incredibly hard to see. As far as I know, it's not just a light, it's the actual scaledspace mesh of the planet.

You might be able to find one if you hunt around with the target marker and the IVA zoom, but I agree that perhaps there should be a more intense or easier to see light from the planets. Perhaps at around the brightness and size of Minmus from Kerbin.
