[CFG Edit][0.17] Improved Stock Decoupler

[ddavis425]

This is a .cfg edit that adds a new node to the stock decoupler, allowing it to also function as a decoupler shroud for the lander engine.

It still lets you attach things like the original does so no need to use two different decouplers on the same craft.

Not a huge edit, this is pretty much just an aesthetic thing.

KNOWN ISSUE: Decoupler ejects violently, currently don't have a solution for this.

Best .cfg edit ever?

A superb modification! One of those 'Now why didn\'t i think of that!' things.

I\'ve found a bug that sometimes causes the decoupler to break the engine off. I think this has something to do with the increased ejection force when an engine is inside. I\'ll look into it and try to make a fixed version.

EDIT: After some testing, it looks like the configuration I have in the pictures works, but if I add another fuel tank on the bottom stage, it will rip the engine off when ejected. Right now I haven\'t been able to pinpoint the cause so all I can say is keep the lower stage small.

Sorry about the necro-bump, but I uploaded a new version which (hopefully) fixes the issue of the engine ripping off. Original post has been updated.

Meh. It's a valid necro-bump.

What about a bigger one, for the BIG 909 engine?
