VAB: Add Ability to Change Anchor Point on Individual Parts


Recommended Posts

KSP v0.1.2

Issue:

  • Attaching one craft to another using a radial de-coupler is unpredictable. Let's say I want to attach a craft's fuel tank to a rocket's radial de-coupler. Typically, the game picks a point on the fuel tank and uses that as the anchor point, but what if I want the anchor point to be on the opposite side of the tank? In one instance, I tried attaching an SSTO to a rocket, but the game decided that the anchor point on my SSTO should be on the top of the plane, causing my top stabilizer to collide w/ the rocket. No matter what I tried, I couldn't get the game to use the bottom of the plane (unless I built the plane again from scratch after already being coupled to the rocket)

Suggestion:

  • It would wonderful if - after picking an anchor part - we could pick a spot on the part that would serve as the anchor point. Even if we were only given 4 options (i.e. front, right, back, left) - that would be better than the current system

If this feature already exists, please drop some knowledge on my addled brain!
