Idea: Multiverse / Interworld Exchange mod

[kerbiloid]

There is Kopernicus mod which allows to have several planet systems at once.

But any such system requires much RAM, etc.

Also, some of them are not compatible because use similar orbits, change the same planets, etc.

That makes to place them in different KSP instances.

Seems to me, it would be nice if there were some "Multiverse" or "Interworld Exchange" mod:

- to take a ship from one world and place it into another one.

- to send a container of Tiberium from an outer world to the homeworld or a container of machinery from the homeworld for the outer world base.

For example: just cut the vessel from a persistent.sfs in one KSP directory and place it into another persistent.sfs.

(

Not between savegames in the same KSP, but between, say,

KSP_OuterPlanets/saves/MyKolonization/persistent.sfs

an

KSP_NewHorizons/saves/MyKolonization/persistent.sfs

)

So, you get your vessel in the destination world at the same place of space. Then you fly to the destination planet.

And, obviously, this vessel disappears from the source world.

As an example: a vessel contains a special "Hyperdrive" part. When you right-click it and press "Prepare to jump", you get a dialog with KSP instances and saves, choose the desired one and press OK.

The vessel id is written somewhere.

You exit the KSP_OuterPlanets and run KSP_NewHorizons, the mod checks if there are vessels to be jumped, and you get the vessel appeared somewhere and disappeared in the initial persistent.sfs.

Maybe only a vessel with some part or some fixed coordinates as "portals" - not essential.
