Alternate strut and girder skins

[Spagoose]

As it currently stands, the best way to make rovers is using the modular girder/octagonal strut parts to make up them main body with structural panels.

They do the job fine, but their hollow and empty appearance sort of ruins it. What I suggest is that alternate solid skins be made. That way it would be possible to make better looking rover bodies more akin to that of the RoveMate probe core. It would be more believable that wiring to the attached parts are hidden inside them rather than parts working through space magic. Squad has added scanner arms, so why not parts to make actual decent looking rovers for them to go on?

Sounds like a nice idea, I like it.

I find it really odd that you consider girders to be the best part for a rover body. I use I-beams to make mine and they all look and work great and are compact.

We have some really nice parts in the game. They just need to be used properly.
