Different ship types

[Benji13]

Something basic that would be good to have in the game would be a bigger variety of ship types. E.g Mothership, Aeroplane, Refueler.

I don't think a second thread is necessary since your question was already answered in the first.:

He was asking about a mod before, when that failed, because it really isn't possible, he made a stock request.  There is nothing wrong with either request, with the exception that it has been asked for many many times.

It is also one of the examples where SQUAD has things hard coded that have no business being hard coded. The vessel categories should be just config nodes with entries for icon, name and sort order..

Kerbal classes are a similar case.

It's not that simple.  Enums are very convenient for creating a list of items.  Alternatives are much more complicated, require much more time to code and maintain, and have a greater potential for inefficiencies and bugs.

Not to say it shouldn't be done, but it most likely hasn't been done already due to priorities.

Or just custom ship types?
