Melting parts(reentry, heat)

[DancZer]

I think there should be an another way of damaging the parts on reentry. Items which not contains flammable should not explode. They should somehow melt. e.g. 50%

When the item melting reach the 100% then it should disappear.

Adding multiple way of melting(e.g. linear, exponential) would increase the variety. E.g: antenna melt faster if is't deployed.

How it should melt? Well, its depends on you. The simplest way i imagine is changing the object geometry(e.g. 4 different condition state 15%,30%,60%,100%).

If you want to increase immensity then the part condition should affect on it's behavior.

Ps. This could be applied to parts which are in the engine's burn area.

If you like it please support the ticket!

Thank you,

I tought that parts that dangerously overheat, but just not explode, are reciving the orange color as 'reentry damage'. Correct me if I am wrong.

Nope it is a yes/no system for damage.

As clivman says. When the part reach the maximum temperature it's explode. No partial damaging.

Excellent suggestion!
