Ships only get auto-deleted if they go below 30km or thereabouts. Jeb'll be fine.

I think the question was whether the orbit would decay even if it wasn't the active ship.

Yup.

I'll need to do quite a bit of research before I'll get enough MechJeb functionality to rescue Jeb, I'm afraid :X

Do orbits even decay over time if the height is over re-entry value?

Also, anything less than 70km on Kerbin will cause re-entry, so you might wanna add some height.

Orbits won't decay when you're not focused on them (but they will autodelete at either 25 or 30km over kerbin). This has good points (fling your craft into almost-orbits and catch them with a tug) and bad points (hi aerobraking!).

So, on a routine stroll through the KSP add-on forum, I stumbled upon a simple, but surprisingly effective mod.



It's called Reflective Ambient Light, and it effectively adds planetshine to the game, weak scattered light reflected off the planet, highlighting the dark side of your spacecraft with the color of the lit planet below it.

Such a subtle change, but makes for a great visual improvement.

Ah, right. I just re-read your original message, I misunderstood you it seems. My bad.

I need to make a mod for Karbonite, but I simply can't imagine what that would entail.

Being able to gather Xenon gas perhaps? More choices in terms of gathering devices in orbit would be nice, as would probe-sized fuel tanks...

There's already the Karbonite+ expansion add-on.

I know, it dosent have many probe size tanks that arent radials, and no way (That I can tell) of making xenon gas...
