Looking for someone to help me get into KSP modding.

Hi! I have a (what i believe) a really useful mod idea and an even vaguer idea of how to execute it, but it involves reverse engineering an already existing squad part. If anyone is feeling extra kind and has a few hours in spare time, feel free to reach out to me on discord at Fishfinger#8513.

What would that be?

I'd be extremely careful with this if i were you; even Squad doesn't have full ownership over some models due to their involvement of third-party modelers at points. Now if all you want is to whip up a proof of concept for your own personal use using a Module Manager patch to create a "New" part using a copy of an existing one as a base, that's fine. If you want to redistribute that patch even, that's fine. But if you want to ship a mod with models, textures, and complete parts; that's likely where you'd run into trouble and need to create (Or commission; I'm sure there's a number here who'd be happy to make you models for some compensation) your own original assets.

Now I'm going to be crystal clear; you absolutely should pursue this if you want. Just giving you a heads up on this particular point.
