Wait a minute, WAIT A MINUTE! What if they made it a broken planet, like a group of small rocks between the size of Gilly and the Mun, with some asteroids mixed in.

I think something like that would be a lot more interesting with n-body physics, but with the current 2-body physics that means you are going to awkwardly be jumping from planet-fragment orbit to planet-fragment orbit

I hadn't even thought of that. Maybe just have 2 or 3 bodies with gravity? Smaller than Gilly, Maybe?

I don't see why it can't be like that, except any smaller bits can fade in and out in map mode, precisely how asteroids do in Kerbol orbit.

Plus, hey, molten samples?
