In my opinion, the VAB/SPH really needs a Center of Pressure indicator to go along with the other "center" indicators. With the new aerodynamics model, it'd be very useful.

(To the layman, the Center of Pressure is essentially the center of drag; it's very hard to design a stable rocket without knowledge of the CoP, even if you know the CoM, as G. Harry Stine notes in his exceptional book The Handbook of Model Rocketry, which taught me half of everything I know about aerodynamics.)
