KSP 2 DEVELOPMENT HAS STOPPED!

As of June 28, 2024, Intercept Games is no longer working on KSP2. There is no information about what might happen to the game or the Intellectual Property in the future. Take-Two, which owns the game, has provided no information regarding the future of the project. This content may never be implemented.

Skut not Skutt

Pre-alpha image showing Skut.

Skut would have been likely released in the Exploration Update in Kerbal Space Program 2 with the Tuun System. Two asteroids fused together, creating massive capture asteroid, it would have had low surface gravity and be shaped like an arrowhead. It would have been located in the Tuun System. It would have an extremely large semimajor axis and eccentricity.

Previously Skut was thought to orbit Qeg based on its orbital properties from 2021, however based on its newer synopsis Skut would orbit Tuun

Orbital Characteristics

Might be inaccurate as it still lists Qeg as the body its orbiting

Semi-major axis 385,955,284,960 m
Orbital eccentricity 0.9
Orbital inclination 15.0
Argument of periapsis 95.0
Longitude of the ascending node 0.0
Mean anomaly at Epoch 0.0

Synopsis

Skut synopsis can be found in the KSP2 Localization Files, discovered by KSP2 Redux members on KSP2 Modding Society Discord.

Check out this funky hunk of rock! See how it looks like two asteroids fused together? Well, that’s probably what happened! If Skut is a massive, captured asteroid, that also explains its extremely eccentric orbit, swinging dangerously close to Tuun’s surface and then flinging itself into outer reaches of the system. Maybe it can’t quite make up its mind about where to set the thermostat.
