It's not hard.
> Principia is a mod for Kerbal Space Program (KSP) which implements N-body and extended body gravitation. Instead of being within the sphere of influence of a single celestial body at any point in time, your vessels are influenced by all the celestials. This makes it possible to implement missions that are more complex and more realistic than in the stock game, especially if used in conjunction with a mod like RealSolarSystem which has real-life celestials.

- pc86 9y agoJust because someone did it doesn't mean it's not hard.
- exDM69 9y agoBut it's not hard. Especially since KSP would be a restricted n-body problem (only the spacecraft are affected by gravity from multiple bodies) and the "n" in n-body is about 20 (number of massive bodies in solar system). It's a game design decision not to include gravitation from multiple sources.
- afterburner 9y agoNice, this might get me back into KSP. Never did like the spheres of influence mechanic.
