A 1:1 Earth makes sense if you want to make a virtual world compatible with AR. Otherwise, I think it only makes sense for flight simulators and games involving space travel.
- Lambdanaut 11y agoEven Kerbal Space Program shrinks planets and space down! It's simply too big.
- rtkwe 11y agoIt's also to make the tasks easier. The dV required for launching off the shrunk planet in KSP is less than if it was just scaled up to match Earth like in the Real Solar System mod(s).
- Crito 11y agoThe kerbal planets are already so big that there is nothing interesting on 99% of the surface area of them. There are mods to make them "full sized", but they don't make the planets less interesting than they were otherwise. Really the planet size in that game is about game balance.
