Would it be possible to have a celestial body in KSP similar to Phobos?

[thereaverofdarkness]

Phobos, Mars' moon, if you don't know, has a giant crater in it. Its small size allows the crater to remain very deep without collapsing. If a body were to be procedurally generated like this, I think either the base of the crater would be far below "sea level", or the majority of the surface would be far above it.

I have also noticed that the smaller, more rugged bodies have a sort of balanced shape, not very realistic. Is this a limitation of the procedural terrain generator? Or perhaps it is just easier to make them this way? What would it take to make an unbalanced world?

Example - Gilly, Pol, and Bop vs. real asteroids Gaspra, Ida, and Mathilde:

Bigger question is : can KSP deal with non-spherical gravity source. I doubt it or we would have less thread about the N-body-problem.

[lajoswinkler]

Planetary bodies in KSP are point-like sources of gravitational force with a landable shell around them. It's very simplified compared to what happens with real objects.

[thereaverofdarkness]

The gravity is fine, I think. Just because it works a bit differently from a real object doesn't really mean it's a problem.

Ahem.

"The Mohole."

That is all.
