[What do you feel is missing from the STOCK game as far as parts goes ?]

props in real life have a fairly low flight ceiling so their use would be limited by this first of all.

Also electric props generate large amounts of heat when running at full throttle so they could have a "burnt out" damage state similar to electric wheels. they have a fairly low max speed as well.
spamming the engines also stacks the power requirements.

I'm sure they could be balanced fairly easily.

None of that addresses the spamming issue. You really can't make a KSP part that works well for small payloads but not for larger ones (aside from part count considerations). Would be simpler, IMO, to just make it dual mode instead of electric (LF+IntakeAir for Kerbin/Laythe and LF+O for the other atmospheric bodies).

How about this: The engine detects if it's on a body with air, and if said body has O2, it uses IntakeAir+LF , but if the body doesn't have O2, it uses ElecticCharge. Or, we can just nix the EC engine altogether, and have it use LF+O, very slowly. With .625 meter ISRUs, and a small drill, we can have a plane that can self-refuel anywhere when landed. I like the second option better.

[1.05 mods?]

I'm looking for 1.05 versions of Kerbal Konstructs and Kerbinside. Does anyone know where I can find them? I've checked several pages for them, and can't find them. Thanks in advance! How to know when you're lazy... when you use the forums to do your work.

To make yourself an idea of the "reentry terror", watch the final scenes of Apollo 13 (Ron Howard, 1995). Quite a realistic movie.

I've seen Apollo 13 three or four times, and those scenes are still amazing to me.

Amazing job! Mark Watney would be proud!

[Houston, the heat shield's overheating!]

Now I want to take a ship up to the edge of Kerbin's SOI, get the periapsis just into the atmostphere, and as soon as I start hitting air, I will have SRBs that will make me go as fast as I can into the atmosphere, and burn up all of my ablator.

Anyone get the reference?

[101+ Impossible/stupid requests]

787 (Insert Dreamliner joke here): I want procedural clouds, storms, and winds in every atmosphere. Surfaces are "slippery when wet" which makes it hard to stop on wet runways, and I want to watch dirt erode. Also, every planet should have a Mohole.
