Biomes/places for Jool and Kerbol (Sun)

[lajoswinkler]

Lack of those on these two celestial bodies has always seemed unfair to me. Jool is an analogue to Jupiter, and Kerbol to our Sun.

Jupiter has zones and belts.

I suggest 3 places for Kerbals to visit: zones, belts and poles. These things are very different, physically and chemically. Poles are places of additional phenomena related to electromagnetism.

As for Kerbol, stars also have various parts on their surfaces. Kerbol is static, but it could have equatorial photosphere, middle photosphere and polar photosphere. Each latitude of a star rotates at a different rate, so the equator is different from the rest, and poles are even more special.

I like this. I already missed it with jool. I mean it's a rly cool planet and since jool is the only gas giant it's one of the most interesting and unique places to visit. Visiting all the biomes of kerbol should be quite interesting aswell, and challenging. A polar orbit around kerbol should be quite heavy on the d-v budget.

I think an overhaul of the textures for both would be required though. Atm stock jool is not that pretty, at least not if you've ever seen what a texture mod can do. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to melt the older pc's graphics cards. if it looked a little less like a dirty ball of green whool and a little more like an atmosphere with cloud layers (not actually clouds, just "rings" paralel to the equator) it would look a lot better

True, it would be better if it had more defined zones and belts, but it's already a decent candidate for this.
