![]() ![]() The game UI has been completely rebuilt from the ground up on Unity's new native UI system.KSP now runs on Unity5, a massive upgrade from Unity4.1.20 Miscellaneous Improvements & Fixes.The highest peak on Eve since version 0.21.1 is 7540 m high, found near (25° S, 158. Driving to and launching from the peak of one of Eve's mountains can drastically reduce the amount of delta-V required (thus allowing successful launches with significantly lighter rockets). It requires about 11,500 m/s of delta-v to get into orbit from sea level. The combination of high gravity and thick atmosphere makes return missions from the sea level of Eve very difficult. ![]() Visiting Eve potentially requires the least delta-v of any planet because its huge gravity well and dense atmosphere mitigate the difficulties that its slight relative inclination poses and greatly ease aero-captures, transfers, and landings unfortunately, takeoff and escape therefore require the most delta-v of any celestial body with a solid surface. Gilly is the smallest celestial body in the Kerbol system. Some players have mistaken the difference in results given when in water and the header "from Eve's oceans" for a second biome, but this is default terminology coded for a "SrfSplashed" splashdown situation also seen on Laythe.Įve's only natural satellite is the tiny captured asteroid Gilly in a highly eccentric and inclined orbit. But the surface has a multiplier of 12, which is the highest science multiplier in the whole star system.Įve has no biomes, only the default "global" context for science activities. These are also the velocities at which a ship should travel for a fuel-optimal ascent from Eve, given the game's model of atmospheric drag.Įve's orbit and atmosphere have a science multiplier of 7, which is rather average. The following table gives terminal velocities at different Eve altitudes. As with version 0.24.2, an aerobraking maneuver arriving from Kerbin and resulting in orbit around Eve - without using fuel for braking - can be done aiming for a periapsis between 70 km (for low-energy transfer) and 55 km (for high-energy transfers). ![]() Landing legs on Eve can easily break because of Eve's high gravity and, surprisingly enough, atmospheric pressure. They work best between 35 km and 25 km where the atmosphere generates enough lift to glide and steer, but not enough drag to slow the aircraft excessively. Planes with other propulsion methods do, however, work very well, and are a great way to explore the planet. Jet engines do not function in Eve's atmosphere, since it contains no oxygen - they make noise and consume fuel, but they produce no thrust. From within Eve's atmosphere, the sky appears indigo during nighttime and a violet-purple color during daytime. The atmosphere should be superheated due to the thick atmosphere trapping in heat, much like Venus, but this is not currently implemented. Its atmospheric pressure fades exponentially, with a scale height of 7000 m. Eve's highest mountain range has a peak of 7526 m.Įve's atmosphere begins at 96,708.6 m and is extremely dense: at 11,250 m, it's as thick as Kerbin's atmosphere at sea level (1 atm), and at Eve sea level the atmospheric pressure is 5 atm. According to the devs during a livestream, it was joked that the lakes were made of rocket fuel. The composition of the violet liquid which fills the oceans and lakes is unknown, although water remains a possibility: the boiling point of water is slightly higher than the surface temperature when taking the high atmospheric pressure into account. These are speckled with small boulders, no doubt worn down by Eve's pressure, temperature, and wind. The terrain has a few mountain peaks, but mostly consists of rolling hills that resemble purple sand dunes. It has several oceans, among which lie large, flat continents. The surface of Eve looks not unlike that of Saturn's largest moon, Titan. Well, despite the purple, and the toxic atmosphere, and the extreme pressures and temperatures… Actually, it’s not very similar at all is it? Who are these people? It is considered by some to be an almost sister planet to Kerbin. Its one of the larger, most visible objects, mainly because of its very, very purple tint. There is a tutorial about getting to Eve.Įve is certainly the purplest object in the solar system. Because of the atmosphere it's the hardest planet to return from after landing. It has one small moon: a captured asteroid called Gilly. (65 days 11 hours 39 minutes 55.1 seconds)ġ0.811 to 11.029 m/s Physical CharacteristicsĮve is the second planet from Kerbol, the closest planet to Kerbin, and KSP's analogue for the planet Venus. ![]()
