Capital ships and changes to interstellar travel

[shell mountain]

instead of just building a tier four rocket, to go interstellar distances you have to build an actual space craft with uber powerful engines in space itself, not on a planet or moon, in orbit. Allowing for basically a mobile base that players can take throughout the cosmos.

Also, maybe some sort of planet like Earth/the overworld but with an alien twist in orbit of Proxima Centauri. and maybe add the outer planets and asteroid belts

[sacred jewel]

I believe that Proxima is being removed after the 1.21 rework/rewrite

[shell mountain]

Aww, well that’s a bummer

[sacred jewel]

Though I am pretty sure Adrian said another system is planned

Or at least one exoplanet of some kind

That isn’t in Proxima I assume

[shell mountain]

Alright

What about buildable ships like in Advanced Rocketry?

[sacred jewel]

I believe that was confirmed to not be getting added

[pine bobcat]

wh- why?

[sacred jewel]

Because to be honest it’s not that good

It’s a remnant of Beyond Earth

[pine bobcat]

because it's only one planet?

[sacred jewel]

The concept is cool

[sacred jewel]

Moon*

[sacred jewel]

A frozen habitable moon

Really cool concept

[pine bobcat]

wait... I always thought that Glacio was a Planet

[sacred jewel]

Which is why I’m adding something similar but adding to it in Et Ultra

[sacred jewel]

That purple gas giant is Vicinus, which is what Glacio orbits

It’s around 3x the size and mass of Jupiter

Making it close to the size of the host star, Proxima Centauri

[pine bobcat]

oh, I always thought that it was a Planet very close to Glacio

[sacred jewel]

If it were that close it’d be a binary

Or orbiting it

[shell mountain]

Proxima Centauri irl is a smoll red dwarf star in a trinary star system with Alpha Centauri A and B, a realistic habitable planet around Proxima Centauri would be a tidally locked “eyeball” planet, one side would be an always day dry and deserted wasteland, the other side being forever in night, blasted by ice and winds, in the middle, a narrow band of twilight where living things can survive and water can remain liquid

[sacred jewel]

“Where living things can survive” if they somehow avoid the likely bombardment of radiation and if they can breathe the thin to nonexistent atmosphere

[shell mountain]

very true

[shell mountain]

Another idea maybe for a planet is something like 55-cancri E/ Janssen, what could possibly just be a giant unpolished diamond orbiting a star

[sacred jewel]

I feel as though things like that are too overpowered though

Plus it’s not confirmed there are diamonds, it’s just what’s hypothesized due to the materials in the area

I’m pretty sure no real planets will be added past the solar system

Because realism sucks to be honest

That’s why for my addon I’m completely disregarding the fact that it’s impossible for Proxima to have life and adding more moons to Vicinus

(And making a moon similar to Glacio as a replacement)

[visual parrot]

Did u make ur addon?It has some cool concepts

[sacred jewel]

Is being worked on

[visual parrot]

Ok thx

[sacred jewel]

It can’t release anyways until 1.21 ad astra releases

It’s exclusive to that version

[visual parrot]

K

[tall salmon]

I partially agree

[warped cloud]

Ye I agree

that idea is SO COOL ….. this will add some realism ..and I love it

[alpine python]

wait like Keplar-90 or Trappist-1?

[sacred jewel]

It’d be fictional

[alpine python]

wdym

so smth simular to keplar or trappist?

[sacred jewel]

Probably not

It’d be its own thing

[alpine python]

ok so a whole different name and different planets?

[sacred jewel]

Yeah

[alpine python]

W

[sacred jewel]

It’d be fictional
