Most people won\'t download parts without pictures. Throw some screenshots up on imgur.com and link them. Make sure you wrap the larger ones in spoiler tags to help keep things neat and clean.

Cheers!

What does these tnaks bring?

[pighair47]

They Are Basically Empty Fuel Tanks, there used for vertical spacing when you don\'t need more fuel.

I don\'t really see the use in these still, but then again, it is only your first part.

Could you make a set of radially attachable conterweights? They\'d be really useful for balancing asymmetrical rockets (my Energia doesn\'t fly straight without a very heavy engine stuck on it\'s back, which is messing up it\'s appearance).

[pighair47]

how heavy of a counter weight we talking about ?

[Kreuzung]

That\'s a problem. Best thing whould be a plugin that allows you to set it\'s weight.

[Guest]

That, or make one with 1 mass unit and a second one with 10 mass units. If you make them small, it should be possible to stick however many are needed.

In general, conterweights should only be used to bring the ship to the point where SAS and thruster gimbaling can stabilize it.

[tncm]

Maybe you could use struts. They\'re uber small and fit in with a rocket. Just make them 10 and 1 like Dragon said and everyone can balance how they like!

[Guest]

I wonder where the center of mass of a strut is though. At the attachment point, or somewhere in the middle?

[tncm]

Someone does need to test that... but I think it will be in the middle.
