1.0.2 Can't attach strut to fairing base.

[Alshain]

Since the 1.0.2 update it seems I can't attach a strut to the faring bases. Is this a bug?

Haven't they always been surface attach false ? I know you can attach struts to parts that don't permit surface attach, but we can't put the first node of struts or fuel lines on them.

Well, I think it's probably a side effect of the fact that they aren't set up to accept surface attachment. The problem being that if surface attachment is turned on, then you can attach things to the fairings themselves. This sounds like it's not a problem, except for the fact that things start phantom floating (sticking in their original position) when the fairings are jettisoned. So, a bug of sorts, but I'm guessing it's due to the current mechanics.

You could just turn on surface attach in the cfg and see what happens, seeing as it's off though I guess it's by design.
