This plugin that automatically makes any mention of cloud into butt remains hilarious. "Butt mod".

So the more planets mod finally happened and it's pretty awesome.

Problem is, the DL was removed for legal reasons. I managed to snag it before it was removed though, and I'm going to give it a shot. I'll let everyone know how it goes!

EDIT: rbray updated his cloud mod to work with the new planets! Now I really can't wait until I get home...

EDIT2: It's still available on reddit for those that care.

Wow, I feel glad I got it while I could. Anyone need a copy?

AFAIK you can still get it on that Reddit link I posted. It has the latest version there too.

So after an insanely long journey, I finally made it to the Sentar local system...

And my god is it gorgeous. Get the clouds plugin right now. It makes everything SO much sexier. Here's some pics I took upon my arrival in the Sentar system. I somehow finagled myself into a weird orbit around Erin, one of the moons of Sentar...

Spoiler: Actual spoiler images ahead, just pics of the new planets (click to show/hide)

Erin is like an anti Laythe, dotted with small patches of water surrounded by huge landmasses. With the cloud plugin, it's quite majestic.

First, a picture of my orbit around Erin.



Next a pic of Sentar as viewed from my position in that orbit. Note how little solar energy I'm getting.



Aaaand this one is beautiful. The sun, as viewed from passing around the dark side of Erin. It really is quite distant at this point.



Finally, a picture of Erin's lake spotted surface. You can also see the ringed moon of Sentar, Ringle, in the background. I can't wait to get a lander or rover down on the surface of Erin to explore. I wonder if air breathing engines work on it.....

[WillowLuman]

Are those.... rings?

[Glloyd]

Are those.... rings?

They are my good sir, they are.

[BigD145]

There is Kethane on the Mun. I need to get an Ore detector up as well.

[WillowLuman]

Are those.... rings?

They are my good sir, they are.

Have you had a chance to fly through them yet?

[Eric Blank]

Waitwaitwait; Erin has its' own little moon?

Not yet. AFAIK, they're just visual effects at the moment. But man, they are beautiful. I'm in the midst of setting up a refueling base around Jool, because Sentar is reeeeaaaaallllllyyyyy hard to get to without insane delta-v costs. I'll try to get a probe through them soon.

Yup, the moon around Erin is called Pock. It's very very small, and really funny looking. Oh and the Sentar ones aren't the only thing added. There's also Inaccessable, Ascension and Ablate which all orbit the sun. Inaccessable is called such because supposedly it spins so fast it's near impossible to land anywhere except the poles. I think it's supposed to be a comet. That or Ascension, I forget right now.

Ablate is really close to the sun, so I had to take another screenshot.

That is one crazy orbit on Ascension. I imagine you could do some interesting things while orbiting it, if you had the timing right.

Yeah, if you could catch it as it swings by Kerbin, you could ride it all the way out to Eeloo, Sentar or Inaccessable. It passes close (relatively speaking) to all three.

-double post, ignore-

I just stopped by Ascension. It's this tiny planet (like Gilly tiny), but it has gravity strong enough that jetpacks don't quite work on the surface (which means it had ridiculous density). It also has a small SoI compared to the distances it's at, so in the end I got to its apoapsis and then made my orbit go opposite the way it went, just so I didn't have to spend another hour fiddling with intercepts. Landing is easy, bet getting there is annoying. Also, its orbit almost passes straight through where Sentar orbits, and I had to avoid two seperate intercepts with it while getting there.
