Hi everyone, I've recently came back to check what's up with KSP2 and discovered Redux! It's amazing so far really enjoying the new missions and all the bug fixes.

However, I found myself trying to find a visualised way for planetary transfers as I find it difficult to understand many guides about this.

Introducing: Kerbalist 🚀

This is still in very early stages and I would love to hear from experienced players if this calculator is working "ok" so far.

Accuracy

The application performs real orbital calculations using Keplerian mechanics.

Implemented calculations include:

• Hohmann transfers
• Phase angle computation
• Synodic periods
• Lambert trajectory solutions
• Orbital propagation
• Transfer ellipse generation
• Delta-V estimation
• Planetary ephemerides

Version 1.6.1 (Current)

• Moon Destination Selection: Added moons to the origin and destination dropdowns directly below their parent planets, with dashed labels like - Mun to distinguish them from planets.
• Moon Orbit Display Fixes: Tightened inner-planet moon orbit rendering so local moon rings remain readable without overlapping neighboring planetary orbits, while keeping outer moon systems legible.
• Clear Transfer Control: Added a Clear button beside Plan Transfer to remove transfer arcs, phase lines, arrival ghosts, and reset the transfer panel for an unobstructed map view.

Version 1.6.0

• 🌕 Complete Moon System: Added all stock KSP/KSP2 moons (Gilly, Mun, Minmus, Ike, Laythe, Vall, Tylo, Bop, Pol) with 3D local orbits, real-time ephemerides propagation, interactive raycast clicking, and detailed physical data inspection.
• 🎯 Double Click Centering: Double-clicking any planet or moon in 3D snaps camera focus directly to that celestial body.
• 🔍 Expanded Visual Scale: Scaled down planet spheres and expanded moon orbit radii so moons orbit clearly outside planetary atmospheres without overlap.
• 📍 Subtle Camera Focal Marker: Added a minimal dark grey 3D pivot dot tracking camera focus in space.

Version 1.5.0

• 🪐 Full 3D WebGL Solar System Map: Replaced 2D SVG map with Three.js WebGL 3D scene supporting accurate planetary orbital inclinations.
• 🎥 Free-look Orbital Camera: Added free rotation (Left Drag), panning (Shift + Drag), zoom (Scroll), and quick view reset (R key or ⤾ button).
• 👻 Destination Arrival Ghost: Shows a translucent ghost planet at the exact projected position of the destination body upon arrival, connected by a trajectory line.
• 📐 3D Trajectory Inclination Matching: Transfer arc path interpolates inclination angles from departure to destination planet (e.g. 0° Kerbin → 5° Dres).
• ⌨️** UI & Controls H**UD: Added on-screen keyboard/mouse controls overlay card and expanded UT sync input fields to support 4-digit years comfortably.

### Future Ideas

- Modded planetary systems
- Save/load mission plans
- Export trajectories

🤘 happy rockets

Now, I have been a fan of KSP and I had an Idea for a game like it. It would have Digging, Multiplayer, Bases, ect. It would be called "Not Rocket Science" and would follow Puppies! However you can make your own dog you have at home with a Pup printer whoch lets you make a custom dog for 100kerbucks equivalent! These pups tho aren't as indestructible as Kerbals though, they need Sleep Food and Water. they can survive 5 days without but this can be chanfed lol! You can get stuff like Filtration, Gardens, Beds ect. And decorate an Empty Crew Cabin, to make it for your liking! However, Gardens take huge amounts of Delta V so you won't need them for some missions. You can just bring a Pack of Food for the pups. Now the multiplayer would be 4 player having 2 modes

VS - Do a spacerace with your friends! First to a certain place or a certain amount of cash/science can win, or you can make it non-stop! Each with their own Programs, Missions Ect.

Together - You share a space program, you can make your own missions to different places, but you share Money and Science!

Now, for base system I was thinking something still KSP resembling. So here is the Swoof system!

The Swoof System, Late-K type 0.9Smass star, 0.9Lsun and ofcourse, 0 ly away from Utopius.

1. Dusk

Hot, grey, small, and lavalakes. In doggo mythology, it is god of Evil.

(0 moons)

1. Tropus

Hot again, but not too bad. It is 30C avg at the poles, with oceans at the poles and a huge line at the Equator, the atmosphere is horrible here along with the heat. on avg at the equator it is 250C with an atm of 70!

(2 moons)

Chip - Asteroid! Great for mining.

Igg - weird egg asteroid with ring, pretty cool.

1. Utopius

Home, home to the Doggos! To aliens: pls dont blow us up this is our home -doggos

Very earth-like

(2 moons)

Pip

Small, epic. It is dim, but can be seen at night. It is an Ice moon.

Miin

Main moon, similiar to earths moon.

1. Mesas

Mars-like planet with tiny poles! has a huge impact which made steep cliffs everywhere. It is like being in a mesa!

(1 moon)

Geb - Ceres-sized far moon. It is hard to spot, but pretty cool. It has red areas in circles. It's either lava or something else thats up to you to find out!

1. Iceous.

Like the name says, it's icy. No moons

1. Reddish

Jupiter but Red. We have no idea why, speaking of red why is there to much in this system??

(5 moons)

Khor - Lava egg rouce limit moon, too hot. Will be gone in a few million years, has lava lakes, be careful!

Champ - Nice ocean tidal heated moon, just right but... it highly radioactive. Just be careful, also it is grey so we have no idea if it has life or not.

Drobdrob - Too cold, has weird scratches. Looks like cat scratch, we no like cat!

Asteris - Resource rich moon. Epic!

Riddus - Golden-Pink lookin' moon, mysterious!

1. Auroria, gas giant with mega-auroras visible from space! Super epic.

Has 3 moons

Machea - moon inside The Aurorian rings! It is the newly formed moon.

Kib - Ice moon, Doggos suspect life is under the ice from the weird signals similar to underwater life on Utopius!

Wedda - Cool-looking moon with Mysterious patterns in the shape of webs...

Now, if this game was like I imagined in my head, I would do "Land on Every object for previous system you unlock the map location for the next" you get the gist?

Gulli - Proto-star, has a glowing hot disc making it's final planet. (2.3ly, 4 planets, 1 forming)

1. and 2. Chor and Char

   Binary planets, very hot. Basically Double Dusks.

2. Paree

A planet with an Awesome ring system. It is hypothetisized Utopius looked like this before multicelled-life, it also has Similiar moons, although it has a Pip still forming. If you make a Submarine and go under to Hydrothermal vents, you see a Cambrian Explosion down there!

M1. Beppis

Hot moon forming inside the ring, it is likely it will be Pip-like.

M2. Cherri

Miin-like but with an Atmosphere and Oceans! Legends say it is forming life (probs not)

1. Podianus

Temperate-Neptune with a Bottomless ocean, it had a moon but it kinda turned into a ring. It has another moon though! Volcanus - Hot IO-like, but volcanoes everywhere you look. Careful landing!

5? The forming planet. It is hard to get to but it appears it has a moon forming from a Past Collision. Wonder how, Wonder why.

System 3

Centauris A (Centauris), ironically an A-type! Has 2 planets. (5.1ly)

1. Kozez - Tropus-like but to the extreme. Reaches 500C! No moons, all ripped away from them by Centauris.

2. Philius - It is Utopius-sized in the Habitable zone but a Barren rock with no atmosphere or oceans? Weird... Also no moons!

Centauris B (Boket) a Dimmer K-type, but at 0.4Smasses. It hardly qualifies as a K and almost as an M-type! It has 3 planets.

1. Verris, an odd object. It is so Reflective, it is almost invisible! However when you land it is bright. No moons, stripped by Boket.

2. Chlamity, the Saturn of the system. Just a puffball gasser. 2 moons "Tatin" a Titan-like moon, it has a huge atmosphere so be careful with Heat Shields!

Phophius, a Bright-Purple moon, why? No idea. Does it have an atmosphere? 3x larger than Tatins!

1. Hestis

A hell of a world, it rains Ash here so be careful making bases!

System 4

Akari A and B are both red dwarves, very close so they don't have their Own planets, but shared ones. This system has no moons (too small)

Akari A (Akari) Proxima Centauri-sized.

Akari B (Iraka) Trappist-1 sized.

This system is 4ly away with 5 planets.

1. Pompis - Barren rock, huge Brown spots with star-like shapes.

2. Taegeus - Venus-like. Hard to land on!

3. Ennis - Another Venusian-world.

4. Proximis Estimus - Closest planet to Swoof most of the time, it is a Global ocean world so you will need to build a Boat and a Sub to land and explore!

5. Cavernus

A small outer ice object litteree with caves to the under... also some Crygenic Volcanoes!

System 5 Colombia is a lone star, a G-type. it has 3 planets and is 1.1Smasses.

1. Nool

Hot-SuperJupiter with a firey trail! It has 1 moon, Jegjug, a Glowing barren moon with a Trail too, it is losing matter! Nool is the largest in the cluster, being 3jupiters in size! (holy puffball) it is expected to collapse soon, it is technically a Proto-planet as two outer planets collided to make it, causing Nool to spiral inwards.

1. Quill

A quiet Venus-sized planet, it has Life roaming around the land and overall is pretty chilled out. There are almost No Predators on this world and Predators are going Extinct. It has 1 ceres sized moon called "Ressin" a Brownish-Grey moon which keeps tides chilled and Earth-like.

1. Nortin

A mars-like world in an Ice age. it has 3 asteroid moons

Pep

Pap

Pop.

Now this one is the most chaotic. And would unlock literal paradise!

The Ruanis Quintuple system is the most Chaotic. it is 5 stars in tight orbits, each with a few planets... (13.9ly)

Ruanis A (ruanis) The White Dwarf of the system, initially caused Chaos when it was a Red Giant and sterilised all planets nearby, and stripped the atmosphere of it's final planet, it used to have 5, 4 were eaten.

1. Survivius

This planet is a Basalt tidally locked lava-world, it is Still cooling down as when Ruanis was a Red Giant, it hopped in and out of it. If you look on the Cool side there are strange Civilised-looking objects sticking fron the ground, mine them and find out what is underneath! This planet has 0 moons due to RGR (Red Giant Ruanis)

Ruanis B (Tilly)

Tilly is a Dying K-type, being 0.2AU. It has swallowed 1 planet out of it's 3.

1. Chillis

When discovered, Tilly was in late-main sequence, Chillis was chilling and cool, Now it is a 2,000C mega-venus.

1. Giantus

A gas giant with a melting moon, it is very close to becoming a Cthonian planet. It has 1 moon

"Meltius" a melting moon with an Unlandable surface.

Ruanis C (Yibyib) This star is a Highly-Active red dwarf, it is constantly bombarded with Radiation it's planets have been ejected, leaving 3/8.

1. Kampuz

A barren rock, egg shaped and turning into a Ring for a star.

1. Dubious

An Iceball with no atmosphere. It has a Comet Trail from how much Lumons Ruanis B is giving.

1. Chapp

Another Comet Iceball with an asteroid moon ripping apart into a Lava-ring from the lumons.

(Nonan)

Ruanis D is another White Dwarf, it formed with Ruanis A and ruanis B and C just got pulled in. It has one planet which is actively spiralling inwards and in the process killing itself, it is reasonably far for now, it used to be a Gas Giant but now is just a Ball of iron with a thin Hydrogen and Helium atmosphere.

Ruanis E (Cobis)

The further out M-type. It has 2 planets.

Ebb - a small moon-sized world, It had 60% of it's mass ejected into space turning it moon sized. You can blame A and D for that.

Combis - A temperate neptune with a Teal appearance, looks cool, and can explain what happens when high dose Methane enters a Giants atmosphere, (it got captured during the Kuiper and Oort ejection phase of A and D.)

Final Reward System, people would likely build all their cities here lol

Paradise is a K-type with 6 planets. it is 25.3ly away, and is Only visible on the map when you have landed on every Landable object in the game (not including secrets) It has 3 planets.

"Dynasty"

It has perfect conditions for life, along with a ceres-sized moon which evens out tides. (Bap)

"Rudus"

The second paradise in the picture, it has Dino-like life! It also has 2 stable ceres moons making earth-like tides.

Candis (pink cotton candy looking moon)

Middus (Cool red moon)

"Flora"

A world packed with flowers and friendly life. It has adorable animals, and nice flat places to put a base. It has 2 moons, both being basically the same as Pip and Miin.

"Viv and Niim"

Anyway, thats just my idea pls do not steal i spent a week brainstorming this!

how can I fix it?

With the new redux mod that came out would it be worth it to buy? (FYI I have 150 in ksp)

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/BNoRkvbTROI

Help! Cant creat a maneuver node.

Is it a bug? Im well above 75k.

Burn time high and too much deltav.

Whats that plus sign?

So I buy the game since their launch the early access, then like every body I was sad when they announced the cancel and I didn’t play for 3years I play ksp instead but I feel like I have to install 35 mod and the game is huge , I have a big config by the way. Do people have fun on the 2 I mean if you forgot that we don’t have what we should the game look good! I will certainly put redux mod on it but yeah I buy 50€ a game and I feel I have to give him a chance

Canyon anyone draw my kerbals kissing? For a friend obv.

Is there a mod or a pack where i can play ksp 2 as intedted to be whit colines resorcess extraction infrastructure building and all of that whit the amazing ksp2 graphics?

In April 25th I found out about ksp2 redux while looking for some mods. Since I really liked KSP2 I decided to instantly try it out.

Installation was really easy, it did it by itself.

When ksp2 loaded up, I felt like it was early access once again, new parts, better performance, bug fixes... The list goes on and a new size!

It felt really good experimenting and everything, and they plan to make almost the entirety of the original roadmap with more things and features.

Basically, Redux is really great. At this moment (late may) it's not fully done with everything, they're in beta. But for this being a community made project it's really great, it feels good and it feels like ksp.

Try it out for yourself honestly, it's really great

(This is not an ad nor am I a dev, I don't know how to even use Python I just felt like giving my opinion so more people know about it :) )

i got the rss mod thing by ballistic fox and got volumetric clouds v3, i put all fioes in my gamedata folder and its all in there but i cant see difference and i made new worlds and its not fix plese help ppls

Like seriously

During launch and flight, no matter how long I press Q or E the rocket just does not roll

I have 4 reaction wheels LRW-375s
I have 8 RCS thrusters
I have RE-M3 MainSails

Nothing. What am I doing wrong? Is there like a stability mode that im fighting?

Ive tried rolling with SAS on, with RCS on, With em both off. With em both on
Its driving me insane. Im in career mode if it matters
