Weather on kerbin

[DJDRESSLER]

I'm sure someone might have asked this before. Is Kerbin ever going to have weather, and if so, will it play important part of scheduling a launching such as in the career mode?

Thanks

Is Kerbin ever going to have weather....

No. In foreseeable future...

We will get multi-player, and resource mining estimated 2015, 2016.

Easy on the pessimism, it's his first post I would hope multiplayer is a bit faster than that since they are officially gunning for it. We will have fully modded resources by then already im sure.

I've not honestly heard anything about weather in development plans. Anything that might affect career in the future is pretty much guesswork. Career is still a shell,they added science but beyond that it's all up in the air. So far what we have is a somewhat interesting way of unlocking the parts.

Weather might be something moddable. I wouldnt know how to get it to affect much in the game though, career really doesnt have any variables you can mess with, theres just not enough there yet.

For cosmetics I do like the mod (name escapes me, check the addon forum) that adds clouds. a planet with a water surface and no clouds looks ever so wrong to me.

thanks for the replies. I understand why it would be such a problem of getting the weather to have an effect on launching rockets. I agree with celem that with all the water on Kerbin, you would think there would eventually be some weather. Besides, I think it would enhance the launching experience having the rockets dodging the clouds. Especially if the rockets blow up in the middle of the clouds and all you see is a bright light piercing the clouds.

Just a thought.
