MKI type cargo bay

[War Eagle 1]

Ok so I was just thinking.

We have cargo bays for mk2 and mk3 parts

Who else likes the idea of mk1 cargo bays for small shuttles or bomb bays?

...as well as "you can fit a satellite in a service bay if you try hard enough".

But yeah, a stock Mk1 cargo bay (basically just a stretched service bay, preferably with open bulkheads for extendability) would be a good thing.

Not sure about this... I have 2 problems :

-the 1.25m parts represent small rockets like Redstone, Atlas or Vega, so a cargo bay would be very weird on it since you won't recover it anyway...

Unless you are talking about plane parts, but then i think that Mk2 is suited better : if you want a payload, use Mk2. If you want a observation jet, use the Mk1... etc etc

-what will you ever fit in a Mk1 cargo bay ? Not Mk1 tanks obviously. Not Round8 since they are wide like mk1. The only things you can put inside are small (very small) ion probes or Oscar-Bs.

I'm not sure it is enough to justify adding a whole new part that will use memory and need to be designed and textured.

It's probably a cool thing to have anyway, but it's best suited in mods IMO

Great little satellite Wanderfound... I may have to "borrow" your idea myself!
