Kerbal Space Program

Kerbal Space Program

Guys I noticed something
In the Kerbol system, there is a replacement for every planet(Earth is Kerbin, The sun is the Kerbol, etc)... Apart from a replacement for saturn. So I dont know if there is one or not but I havent heard any mention of a saturn replacement. It could be called, I dunno, maybe Surtane? Also it would be cool to have a planet with rings. Same goes for Uranus, which could be Anor, Neptune, which could be Nyoope (pronounced N-you-pay).

Wait, I think squad left out all the planets with rings. Why? Probably because it would be too much coding for it and the game would lag when you went near them. But still it would be cool to fly through the rings and re-direct some of the asteriods...
Anyway if anyone from Squad is reading this, maybe you could add the ringed planets. Thanks for taking time to read this. Your probably making this :steambored: :steambored: face since your so bored.

OPM adds outer planets. I notice Sarnus is saturn urlum is uranus, neidon is neptune and Plock is pluto.

So what is Dres an analogue of?

Dres - Don't ca'res
He just is.

OP:
Analogy in KSP is very distant. Game is built around playability and dificulty curve, not the accuracy. If you want accuracy, go for real solar system mod and enjoy them all.

D: It's tragic, so few people care about going to that planet. Even though Eeloo is inclined, people are more willing to go there than Dres.

Which is a shame, because it's got the right gravity for rovers to be tested on Kerbin and shipped directly there without that learning curve that comes with building your first lunar rover. It may be boring, but any planet is what you make of it. I tried to ramp the canyon, for instance.

I feel the need to point out (because I see this said so often) that no; it actually isn't. It's the Sun, the game never calls it Kerbol. That's a fan-invented term.

Dres has a few things working against it.
  • No moons. Once you land there and visit all the biomes, there just isn't much to do there anymore. (Eeloo and Moho suffer this too.)
  • It's lumpy. I have a hard time finding a suitably flat spot to park my permanent ground base.
  • Minimal bragging rights. Duna/Ike is more typical for a first interplanetary landing. Eve's mass and thick atmosphere, and/or Gilly's extreme low-gravity are more noteworthy. Moho is low and fast--hard to rendevous with. Jool has 6 worlds to flit between. And Eeloo is the furthest out. Dres is just... meh.

the rings in OPM seems to be just light.. there's no collision with anything in them, so not like it takes a ton of resources.. filling them with tiny ice crystals and micro moons -- now that would be something..
afaik OPM is not updated for the latest KSP version

I use OPM.

Filling them with tiny ice crystals and micro moons -- while I agree would be awesome -- would probably cause Unity to crash. I'm pretty sure the rings in OPM are just a bit of vertice trickery (you know, like trees in 3d games in the late 1990's).

Maybe throw some small asteroids in there and maybe paint them white and blue if at all possible.
I'll look into it in kopernicus.

I'd like collisions with micrometeoroids in ksp and dust particles and rocks to collide with in the rings, like not dense, but the same as saturn's rings
