@Bmcclory i cant really come up with a desingn that works well with them. For example i built a craft that got a 250kg ion probe to droo orbit. From there it would have taken me 70 periapsis burns just to get an encounter with the moon. After each burn i had to time warp several in game days to recharge the batteries with solar panels. I think the electricity needed to run them compared to the amount you can recharge with reasonably sized solar panels is too high.
@Nooneoone the physics are adapted for rockets but andrew said that you can still fly planes with them. And yes i think COM COL and COT will be like in sp.
If you look at the left corner of the gif you can see that the heat shield only took like 50 damage out of 2400. Isn't that a bit low for entering the atmosphere at Mach 40 and temperatures over 13000°C?

5.8 years agoI once went to urados and the ejection burn from droo took around 6000m/s of dv.
5.8 years ago@Tully2001 If you look in the gif you can actually see that there is a pressure wave and it looks awesome.
5.9 years ago@Sharandeep981 I think it might be generated with perlin noise and some other adjustment but i dont know for sure.
5.9 years ago@Bmcclory I think he meant any moon with an atmosphere and there are moons that have an atmosphere.
