Ryaja Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 I think there should be parts to land and launch seaplanes. This would be useful for massive craft that need a super long runway, and it would be very Kerbal to have 100 little float things(what are those called I forgot?) On a massive SSTO.

Ashandalar Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 There is a part of the new KSC the devs refer to as the "docks", and I believe it's confirmed we'll be able to launch craft there. Buoyancy may be an afterthought, but they have at least thought about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOtherDave Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Oh, I hadn’t thought of seaplane parts! Yeah, that’d be cool! “The Spruce Ultra Mega Goose”, here we gooo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salaminho Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Definetively must have, but I would extend that desire to naval parts in general. What I would really like to see is a better fluid dynamics, with different buoyancy levels in different worlds. It gave me an idea, a frozen world with underground oceans like Enceladus would be awesome . But I might be pushing this topic to far, sorry.
