Parkaboy Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) MaxMaps tweeted today:Project V advances swiftly. Excited to see how you guys react to it.Is it something we're going to see in the next update? What do you guys think it's going to be? Anyone cares to guess?People are already discussing it on Reddit. Edited January 22, 2015 by Parkaboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norpo Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I hope it's a new planet/moon.V could mean anything... Vector? (commonly used in Unity)Verdant? (shade of green) (Perhaps a green rocky planet, like Jool?)...Clearly it's going to be something amazing and earthshattering, considering he's going to be excited to see how we react to it. Either that or it's something relating to V in spanish (since they're based in mexico), but I don't know spanish, so I can't guess on that front.

ShadowZone Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 V for Velocity? Making everything perform faster? One can only hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parkaboy Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 Could it be the development of the technology to build mobile suits, vulgarly known as "mechas"? That's what Project V stands for in the Gundam universe.Although it would be cool if it were just a new planet with a name starting with "V". I vote for "Velociraptor".

timsfitz Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Could be anything. Hoping for resources, volcanoes, or another planet with moons.Or volumetric clouds in stock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parkaboy Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 Or maybe we're getting "SpaceV" as a stand in for SpaceX? New parts?MaxMaps commented saying that the "V" is the letter "vee", not the roman number 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemrav Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Verge, Vinland, viking (maybe the probe?)anything, but its not 5, another post confirmed thisBet its the secret replacement since no resources are coming next update (pushed back to have smooth release)edit: ninja'd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earth-shattering? I hope it is! Hopefully it is something that no mod has ever dared to attempt.=========================================================It could be the name of a new species on Kerbin. It's name starts with 'V'.

dryer_lint Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Okay... This is going to be some epic Illuminati conspiracy stuff, so prepare yourself!Maybe... just maybe...They picked "V" because...it sounded cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NecroBones Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Earth-shattering? I hope it is! An Earth-shattering Kaboom? I am expecting an earth-shattering kaboom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astropapi1 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 It could be pretty much anything, there's no point in speculating with so little information. Only leaves room for dissapointment in my opinion.Personally, I'll go for Velociraptor. Rideable velociraptors that you can strap to your rockets.I love cloud-to-butt.

Well, someone will make it soon, then, I suppose.Also, I doubt MaxMaps picked V because it sounded cool. If I was teasing a new feature, I would make the hint something that vaguely made sense. That way when it's revealed, everyone will say "oh man why didn't I think of that" Edited January 22, 2015 by Norpo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norpo Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 A Venus-style planet?Isn't that Eve? Thick atmosphere, flavour text says "it's almost a sister planet to Kerbin", which people have described venus as being sister to earth, to which KSP parodies by saying "Well, despite the purple, the toxic atmosphere, and the extreme tempertures and pressures..

SkyRender Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Clearly it means we're getting Vuvuzela Mode, wherein all sound effects are replaced with the iconic noise of the most irritating type of horn ever.

sal_vager Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Moho used to have an atmosphere and was hot as vindaloo, you had to be really careful when taking off from there, we hoped Moho would get lava one day.Not likely to be this V thing though, something to do with the 5th planet maybe?

Norpo Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 What was that?In ye olde times, when Moho was first introduced, it was redder, and getting too close to it overheated your rocket. As I remember, it made landing nigh impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
