Now that Squad has implemented Asteroids with .23.5, we can place place Giant Rocks into Orbit around any celestial Body there is in this Game.

Unfortunately my mind is circling around a quite tiny but special one. The long absent Magic Boulder.

Thank you again for the Picture, Brotoro :)

Why am I so concerned about its belongings even if I could move around these Huge E-Class Asteroids?

Because it was for a long time the only asteroid and I have read somewhere, that the SSTV-Signal coming out of Duna's southpolish Pyramid is somehow connected to it.

Also it remains the only Easter Egg that I havent been able to pay a visit.

I dont want to push the devs to make this their top priority. Even more I want to point everyones mind to this little Boulder and by doing so, to prevent it of beeing forgotten.

Because now...

we can make our own Magic Boulders :)

This was a Prototype:

The big "Vending Sign" was actually intended to be Monolith on the Magic Boulder. But I am not that good in Replicas :)

Beeing delivered to an Asteroid, previously captured on a slighty inclined Polar Orbit around Ike in 15km height.

This is the Magic-Boulder - Replica Mk2

And this is the Final outcome :)

I wanted to place the first Asteroid I capture somewhere special. And that is what I came up with.

You know what? They should bring it back and make it work like an asteroid, but make it impossible to see on the map view, so that we have the same challenge capturing it, but it's possible to move it around.

It would be an awedome station core. :D

And also some crazy high science you can get on it! I hope it will return because I didn't even have the skill to get to duna back then and I really want to see it for myself. :)

I feel like there should be stuff in this game like the magic boulder that is unique and hard to find as it gives the game character. I mean while we do have the surface easter eggs out there, I feel like there should be some stuff in orbit to be discovered and not in any map view.

I just landed a probe on Ike in case .23.5 did re-add it, but I doubt it.:(

Was that necessary to make it spawn? Unfortunately I didn't get into deeper space until the 'magic' was removed. The last thing I was doing before the patch was taking grav readings over Ike, so I have a probe in low orbit over Ike currently.

No, it spawned as an on-rails object like any other planet or moon... it's not an object that you'd spawn or get rid of in any manner.

Did it show on the orbit map? Or was the only way to find it by spotting it visually?

Nope. 100% visuals.

I've heard you'd have to sit on Ike's north pole for some time and suddently, you'd spot a little moving star on the sky... Shame I never visited it when I still could... :(

Like a teapot in orbit between Duna and Jool? :wink:

But you are right, I would be sufficiently pleased for the existing easter eggs to get fixed - as I am still relatively fresh to KSP (.20) and didnt have a chance to really visit them all yet.

#SaveTheMagicBoulder!

Why did they even remove it in the first place?

It wasnt removed. The games was not able to display it anymore. The code for it is actually still in the game but because it is neither a planet nor a Craft it is inactive at the Moment.

Thats at least what I heard.

But because it was considered an Asteroid before we even had Asteroids, everyones hopes are rising because of 0.23.5 :)

Or a Glove that escaped from an early Mercury Capsule drifting in low Kerbin Orbit :D
