Apologies for necroposting but just want to mention how amusing waterfall configs would be, Image the "bell" nozzle engine having excessive amounts of shock diamonds and the "Barrel"  nozzle looking like its about to explode with an incredibly unstable plume

Feel free to make them

This is a late reply but I have a new part idea: Duct tape strut. Works exactly like a strut, but cheaper and weaker. also duct tape.

This is a very old mod.  If someone were to make some parts, I'd gladly include them, but I'm not doing anything with this other than bug fixes

Really a bit late

Tried it out, and could not stop laughing. Its very well done, too well for my current game  I was pleasantly surprised fuel switch worked. Tweakscale doesn't seem useful so no support is fine. Antennas didn't work with remote tech I think I can look at it. I was kinda expecting to find Duct tape as a KIS/KAS tool. Sadly there was none.

In fact, this idea was proposed to the author shortly after the release.

Dang, someone else thinks that duct tape struts are a good idea!

Saved Apollo 13, patched the ISS, 1001 uses! I don't know why it isn't in the game officially.

I hope you don't mind some screenshots for your thread, @linuxgurugamer, these recycled bargain rocket parts are just what Dr. von Kerman ordered!  For a first flight in a new career save, these parts are just... *chef's kiss*  Perfection!
