OPX: JoolPlus

The first of six installments in the Outer Planets eXpansion project (OPX), OPX-JoolPlus presents a major improvement (at least in my eyes) to the previously unrealistic and oftentimes bland Jool system.

Additions include:

• Brand new set of Saturnian-style textures for Jool, including a thin ring system.

• Meto, an analog for the inner Jovian moon of Metis. Full biome support.

• Alnes, an analog for the inner Jovian moon of Amalthea. Full biome support.

• Laythe, Vall, and Tylo shrunk and moved outwards for stability and realism purposes (Laythe was always a bit too close for comfort, honestly)

• Klip, an analog for Callisto, with nineteen biomes and a rugged surface perfect for challenging landings and rover expeditions, balanced with a forgiving gravitational pull low enough for easy correction and high enough to stop rovers from going everywhere.

• Bop is now a trojan companion of Klip, saving it from the unending limbo of only being visited if someone needs to say they visited every moon of Jool. Also, smaller because 60 kilometers is insane for an asteroid.

• Settings file allows you to choose whether Bop is a Klip trojan or an outer moon like Pol

• Pol orbits much more distantly, corresponding to the Jovian outer moon of Themisto. Jool looks tiny from this distance, and the inclination gives a birds-eye view of the entire system.

• Euribanne/Eurbon and Palloocus/Palloomus, two pairs of Jool trojans at both lagrange points if you would like to do a Lucy.

• Full DistantObjectEnhancement compatibility for the new objects (obviously the existing ones are already taken care of)

• Compatibility for Clonos' JoolRetexture mod, facilitated by that same settings file

TO DO:

• EVE and Scatterer configs for BetterJool and Laythe

• Settings option to retain stock sizes and masses for Laythe, Vall, Tylo, and Bop
