RedDwarfIV Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 What collide or orbit?You can orbit.You can\'t hit Kerbol [the star.] However, your ship could be shredded by G-forces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emilio Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 There\'s an altitude check since 0.14, i think. So you can\'t 'collide' it, but you get destroyed if you\'re too close Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kreuzung Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I\'ve send my plugin test drone into Kerbol and it said 'crashed into the Sun' in the mission report... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kreuzung Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 It was solar-powered so it\'s in paradise now...Don\'t know where your problem is, my mun probe is lying at the side in 3 pieces and I destroyed a load of unmanned MechJeb and Probodobodyne pods by shooting them in the air with a single Down Under booster while testing plugins....(That was enough advertisement for mod packs now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vexx32 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 How do you use probes?Is that a trick question?If that was an honest question, they\'re basically modded parts or ships comprised of such that either sit there looking cool, or have plugin functionality added to them for various purposes.

maltesh Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I\'m still quite sure, that they used that name because there is an actual planet called Kerben 600 light years away.I can\'t find any mention of a planet named 'Kerben.' In fact, the IAU doesn\'t assign names to extrasolar planets, merely designations, such as ' Gliese 581 e' or '4 Ursae Majoris b' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willitstimothy Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 (edited) You can orbit.You can't hit Kerbol [the star.] However, your ship could be shredded by G-forces.Yeah you can orbit, and you can also 'crash,' as it were, at Kerbols 65400 Km radius. Just trust me, I crashed once at exactly that distance from the center of the point light source. Edited August 18, 2012 by willitstimothy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maltesh Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Free Demo Version: Kerbol is a point of light and gravity, and you can pass through what\'s defined as its surface harmlessly. Passing close to its center can do weird things, like tear pieces off your spacecraft, and throw you outsystem at significant fractions of the speed of light, thanks to . (At least, that was the case in the latest Demo version I\'ve played, v0.13.2) Paid Version (v 0.14+): As others have mentioned, Kerbol has a kill line at about 4,500 km above what\'s defined as its surface. Nothing I\'ve sent closer to Kerbol than that has survived, and the End Flight screen reports those objects as crashing into the Sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
