John FX Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Title says it all. Like we have `roids now, we could have Kuiper Belt objects for bonus science. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasmic Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Currently, we dono't even have an asteroid belt in the inner system, and there will be added more planets to the outer system at some point in time, which would force the devs to move the kuiper belt thingy at that time. So it probably won't happen any time soon, but I think it's a nice idea for later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 The asteroid feature is quite unimpressive at the moment, there is so much potential for content there. Check out Custom Asteroids if you're impatient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John FX Posted July 8, 2014 Author Share Posted July 8, 2014 (edited) Just to clarify I`m not looking to have this now or even in the near future, I am just making a suggestion to allow SQUAD as large a pot of ideas for the future as possible. They will choose some, they will reject some. I don`t even use the asteroids we have now but if we are having objects like that, kuiper belt objects might be an idea to consider.As Regex said, there is much potential. Comets anyone?

velve Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 As Regex said, there is much potential. Comets anyone?Nice one, I got that.Yes this is a good idea. Would be nice to have extra mysterious bodies to explore(that might sound a bit wrong), I fear though there are so many good ideas that just won't make it into the game. Mods though perhaps. I do hope SQUAD do actually check in on this huuuge pot of suggestions we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John FX Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share Posted July 9, 2014 [thread=36863]What Not To Suggest[/thread]So we can`t suggest a change to something that is actually in the game now?That`s pretty old, well before NASA got involed with SQUAD...

Nuke Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 getting away from the wntsl one thing thats not on it: make an asteroid observatory part. this part will allow you to discover and track asteroids in a large radius around the ship on which its mounted, much like the tracking station, just less stationary. this gives you a mechanism to detect more distant objects further away from kerbin. then just add more asteroid spawning belts to the kerbol system. you just have to do multiple instances of an already existing system. you of course have to take the detector out to where a belt intersects its radius to find anything. this should add an exploration aspect to the game, you have the means to find things, but no idea where to look. you could throw in all kinds of weird belts with eccentric orbits, or high inclination to make things interesting. the same system could be used to spawn (sparse) planetary ring systems.

vexx32 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 That entry still exists on the WNTS list because it's been suggested many, many times. It's not as though they aren't aware that new celestial bodies (asteroids, comets, planets, moons, stars, etc.) are in demand. The last time I heard a dev respond to something like this was before NovaSilisko left the team, but it was something along the lines of them wanting to give players more things to do on the planets that already exist before giving everyone another whole bunch of planets that they can still do little to nothing on.As such, /thread. Squad are quite aware of the ideas for an asteroid belt -- after all, many planets in KSP are analogues of real-life planets anyway -- but at present they are working on Career mode features.
