Do you have a Forgotten planet?

Tylo.  On purpose though, Tylo is a scary planet with strong gravity.  Don't go to Tylo.  So I've been told at least. 

Ike is pretty boring, as is Duna as a whole really.  Moho I've only went to once, and decided that would probably be the last time I go there, as their is nothing there, and that planet is literally more dull than Dres. 

Speaking of Dres, that planet is actually rather interesting I think.  I like the nice contrast in its surface colors. 

Bop and Pol are desolate as well, nothing to see their.  Vall has a cool look from space at least. 

Eve's moon Gilly I've never been to.  Not because I can't, heck, I could take a shuttle their and land it myself, but I see no reason to. 

The problem with KSP is, if you've seen one atmosphere-less moon/planet, you've seen them all.  Moons/Planets with atmospheres are marginally more interesting, and once you've seen one spot on them, you've seen about the whole planet.  Would be really cool if their was just more to do on them, like set up a launch pad and space center on them and do stuff.  Would give real incentive to visit them I think, but so far only mods have done that.

I totally agree... Tylo is evil!  I still haven't been able to land there.
And other than missing a dense, spooky atmosphere, I'm convinced it's really LV-426 in disguise!!!   :0.0:

Eve and Gilly. Eve scares me, and I know whatever I set down there is not coming back. Gilly isn't much of a challenge, but there also isn't much to do there. Since Moho is really the only destination orbiting closer than Kerbin, I don't need a refueling depot either.

Tylo is scary, have only been able to land on it with mechjeb and even it tend to screw up often. 
Now I however has an plan for an Dress SSTO, if you mine on the surface it should work. I would need to tank up again in orbit before next landing but the idea is sound. Can probably use it for Laythe too if I make it pretty aerodynamic and have some heat shielding. 

Gilly is nice as an outpost to Eve and the low gravity is insane, 
Bop and Pol serve the same purpose in the Jool system, prefer Bop as transfer times are shorter. 

We should have procedural surfaces like on Mun on other bodies too. 
Tend to ignore Eeloo as travel times are so long, that is I launch an probe and game rarely last until it arrives.

I have happy memories of all the planets, even Jool, though admittedly the attempt to descend into the atmosphere was not well thought through. Including the moons in the discussion, as seems the original intent, I kind of forgot about Pol and Bop until recently. I was a little preoccupied with Eve and Tylo. After finally conquering both I looked around and realized I had neglected Jool's tiny moons. Immediately deployed an apology mission. They were quite hospitable and I enjoyed my visit to them both. Forgot about the Kraken so guess I need to go back.
