@Kerb24 where are you?

I am highly impressed that there are already mods for KSA. (This is the first one I saw, even though I later found earlier ones).

Yes, but you have to be careful about adding too much complication. Another feature that would be great fun for interstellar, though probably very complicated to implement, would be time dilation/length contraction. Exceedingly useful with life support, as irl.

I have never landed on Eeloo until just after I saw your post. I opened the game, and in stock (which I haven't played for ages) in 50 minutes (mostly time warp) I designed and flew to Eeloo a lander. I didn't end up with enough fuel to get home, but the reason people don't land on Eeloo isn't...
