Adjustable magnetic locks

[Snikersnee]

Is there a mod that lets you increase and decrease the power of the magnetic docking locks? and I am aware of tweakable everything, but I don't think you can increase the power. can you?

Looking at the cfg, I don't see much that can be changed.  Maybe changing the node size, but other than that, I see nothing other than having to do a good deal of work to make it work.

The docking ports in FASA include all of the following parameters:  

 

MODULE
    {
    name = ModuleDockingNode
    referenceAttachNode = top
//    deployAnimationController = 1    
    nodeType = size0
    undockEjectionForce = 1.0

    acquireForce = 0.25
    acquireTorque = 0.5
    acquireRange = 0.75
    captureRange = 0.125
    minDistanceToReEngage = 0.75
    StartOpened = False
    fuelCrossFeed = True
    }
}
 

 

Now...  I don't know if those values actually affect something without additional plugins ot enable them, but that is the stock module...  so it looks like it OUGHT to work!

Interesting, because I was looking at a stock part.  I guess it should work.
