Is the liquid surface really 'water'
Is the Liquid on Laythe actually water? Thecoshman (talk) 22:22, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
No, according to a dev. (forgot the name, I think HarvesteR), it's an water-ammoniac mixture. But, if you'd ask me, it is water, and the molten core heats the surface up to a pleasant 18 degrees celsius, causing the water to be liquid. BUT I can imagine that this will result in strong currents.
Picture too large
This picture needs to be resized so it is not so unsightly. Thecoshman (talk) 16:39, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
Extra data needed
Usually I would build a rocket and go figure it out myself, but my normal computer is being repaired so i am stuck with my old Dell with an Intel Pentium 4HT and it can barely support v0.16. So i currently cant get any data on the new bodies. Would somebody be willing to get the following information on Laythe (and possibly other bodies)?
I need day length (compared to parent body, so a planet to a star and a moon to a planet), radius and orbital statistics (inclination & eccentricity.)
If you give me the data then i will be very thankful and i can finish touching up the information on this wiki.
- Laythe's tidally locked to Jool, so it'll rotate once per orbit, which is 14 hours, 43 minutes and 1 second. The radius is 500,000 metres, about 83% the size of Kerbin. The inclination is 0º and the eccentricity is also 0. R0cketor (talk) 06:21, 29 March 2013 (CDT)
Better Annotations
I would suggest better annotating than the rather slapstick annotations that a user has created to show the moons in the atmosphere of Laythe. I would do the job if nobody stands up to it. R0cketor (talk) 06:21, 29 March 2013 (CDT)
- You mean File:VallFromLaythe.png, File:TyloFromLaythe.png and File:BopFromLaythe.png (which has double pointing annotations)? Go for it! That way the craft has the newer nicer part textures. — xZise [talk] 04:57, 3 May 2013 (CDT)
Land Landing
How difficult is it to land on land? I want to head over to a Joolian moon, and Laythe seems like a good idea, but I don't want to land in water. What tactics could be used? Ben Again (talk) 19:04, 2 May 2013 (CDT)
