    Staff likes/feedback

    I recently got likes from Rocket and that felt really good. On other occasions I wasn't sure staff even read my posts (like the one about Lunar mascons), so staff, if you like a post, hit like :). Maybe you like an idea but it's (probably) not going to happen for some reason, so a like might...

    Hermite A crater

    I landed in the Moon's Hermite A crater featuring extremely cold (26 K) permanently shadowed regions. I'm thinking of getting cryopreserved there for mind uploading without having to worry about cooling failing on a chaotic, global warming struck Earth. Rocket is well lit there, though, but I...

    save and load rockets

    Let us save and load rockets we build. Now we have to build them from scratch to reuse them or change something, right?

    exponential "Multiplier" in burn window

    The burn multiplier is 10 initially and I can click it up/down by 1. I often need <1, but it goes from 1 to 0 and I have to edit the number instead of clicking. I suggest dividing or multiplying the current multiplier by 10**(1/n)=n-th root of 10, where n is 2 (or 3 or 4, but I think 2 is best)...

    opt in automatic feedback

    At first launch ask whether user wants the game to automatically transmit feedback like system configuration, performance, crash reports, installed mods, total game time, anonymous or linked to ahwoo/discord account, etc., each with its own enable/disable choice. Allow these choices to be edited...

    Saturn's atmosphere/core height

    Saturn's atmosphere is 904.2 km high. Below is a surface. irl the atmosphere is deeper, hydrogen becomes metallic at very high pressures. Temperatures rise very high, melting even tungsten before Saturn gets something like solid. If anything I said is wrong, blame ChatGPT ;). A crush depth like...

    Multiburn

    Please make multiburns e.g. to depart from Earth with low TWR user friendly. Like, keeping burns at a fixed angle e.g. relative to the body's trajectory tangent when departure time changes by n orbits or one of the burns delta-v changes and move them all together if the first burn is moved.

    Black hole

    Can I have a black hole, maybe coorbiting the Sun? With Ergosphere? :) Light bending? :) A quasar/blazar with relativistic jets? :) Or a primordial BH? :) That could be anywhere in the Solar system, maybe in the asteroid belt. Could destroy rockets/parts with tidal forces if we get too close...

    IRC channel

    I created the IRC channel #KittenSpaceAgency on libera IRC. Technically I'm currently the owner of that channel. I'm happy to transfer channel ownership to whoever deserves and wants it. I guess if it is officially supported, it should go on the wiki front page.
