I will apologise if my search of this thread missed this being suggested already. I am thinking ahead a little here. I assume that in campaign mode we will have a limited budget. Therefore being able to recover decoupled items would be beneficial as they can be reused rather than having to purchase replacements all the time. So I want my parts to stop being destroyed whenever I decouple them in launch. I have tried having parachutes attached that deploy at the time of decouple. Within the atmosphere this works most of the time, also helps keep the parts out of the way. Sometimes though, the parachutes don't survive for whatever reason. My idea is that it would be great to be able to attach a parachute that will auto deploy at under 15000m or something after the part has be decoupled. This should allow for parts decoupled outside of the atmosphere to reenter before chute deployment and allow the parts to make a soft landing and be recovered for reuse. I would think that they work similarly to now. Part deploy at preset level and then fully deploy at 500m from ground level. I hope this is clear. Thoughts are welcome.
