- docking - ability to save payload and launch vehicle separately - ability to start a construction without a command module (needed for making a dedicated launch vehicle) - stock solar panels, electric engine, and battery packs (to set a standard for mods if nothing else so that different modpacks can be compatible with each other) - separate tab for mod parts and better organization of mods (currently mod parts are placed everywhere, it would be nice to have all the parts of a modpack grouped together)
