VincentMcConnell Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 During a trip out of the Solar System, Kerbals traveled for 10 years and found a new planet, far away in another Galaxy called 'The Milkyway'.This planet seems to be in the correct place to support life, although the Kerbals are not sure if it will support intelligent life or not. Interestingly, the planet seems to be only slightly larger than eleven times Kerbin\'s size and has its own Mun in orbit. The newly discovered IL-543 is only slightly less dense than Kerbin, leading the Kerbals to believe that a gravity roughly identical to Kerbin\'s is present and holds an atmosphere slightly thinner. Future missions will be planned to land somewhere among the large land masses of IL-543 to attempt a search for life, no matter how evolved it may be.

Radion Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 To answer your question, no, it should not go in Roleplay, as it is completely unrelated to canon roleplay, and against the Roleplay Forum\'s rules.http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/forum/index.php?topic=7070.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thobewill10 Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Intergalactic missions would take millions of years (not counting time dilation, which would reduce it, assuming a constant 1g acceleration, to ~50 years)Is it supposed to be Earth?

sgtblazing Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Kerbal can bend time to experience it 1000 times faster than normal, clearly that\'s how it was done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This whole 'Kerbol has a smaller solar system' thing is no good... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ping111 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 It was intentionally made that small because otherwise it would take FOREVER to orbit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentMcConnell Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 It was intentionally made that small because otherwise it would take FOREVER to orbit.It would take 90 minutes to ride an orbit. If we could warp 30 at 100 miles, it would take very little time... It takes 33.3 minutes to ride a 100KM orbit around Kerbin and you can only time warp 10.

Thobewill10 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 It\'s not entirely realistic. It\'s not orbiter; it has its own kooky flavour. I\'m glad the planets are smaller-sized, to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes 33.3 minutes to ride a 100KM orbit around Kerbin and you can only time warp 10.Once apon a time, when the plants were still young, there was no such thing as time warp. This would be one reason why the scale of the system was designed smaller than our own.I would imagine changing the sizes now would cause much disruption, and in my opinion, i like the small scale, it feels right for the game.

rustymcclintock Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 As long as a jupiter style planet is massive! compared to kerbin. I\'ll be good But I really want to have a massive body somewhere. doesn\'t have to be 1000 times bigger like RL but like 20 -30 times bigger would be epic.
