Roller wheels

Perhaps the game needs some new wheels! Roller wheels! You know! They could help out with tons of stuff!

They would look like such:

Shorter than the ones on the U2, no need for that extension, but they should serve a similar purpose.

More like this, but aircraft quality, not shopping cart quality.

Something like this to assist craft as they land, or to help people making turboprops and such!

You can make those yourself with the parts we have in the game.

Yeah, isn't the smallest wheel more or less this?

Though I suppose what there is a place for is a castering wheel, or option on the existing wheels. So it just pivots to match the direction the vehicle is going in.

I was just suggesting the addition of a smaller wheel, with no cover, and has no suspension, or basic turning ability for early game use, or for things like stock turboshafts, etc.

All we need in the landing gear department is something for space vehicles.  We have 5 sets of airplane and airliner landing gear but absolutely nothing for a space shuttle.  Considering this is a Space game, that is kind of shocking really.

We might could use a few extra rover wheel options.  We have all the small rover wheels we need but maybe a continuous track (tank tread) for manned base vehicles, as in something significantly large.

^^ This. We've got a ton of heavy airliner components (Goliath engine, Jumbo landing gear) which make sense when building an airliner but are totally useless for spaceflight.

Some more space-related stuff like big rover wheels (for base vehicles) would be a lot nicer than even more aircraft parts.
