Feature Request: Custom Launch Sites

[Justasimplepotato]

I kind of hope that in KSP2 we can switch the type of launchpad we have.  In the real world, there are different launch pads for different rockets, so i think that we should be able to change the launch pad from a smaller more miniature launch pad when doing small launches, medium sized launch pads for orbital and munar launches, and huge launch pads for Eve and interstellar launches. Maybe, in a dlc we could get the Saturn V launch tower, the SpaceX launch site, or even the original KSP1 launch pad. 

I think it would just be cool to decide what you launch from based on your craft. Anyone who has ideas, or likes the idea, comment below, so it can be recognized by the Devs.

This would be cool, like having a small, medium, large and extra large launch pads. They could also limit the width (not parts) of the rockets that could be launched. Progression of launchpads could be coupled to the tiers of the tech-tree , so upgradable (with science points) when going into a new tier.

 

We will get more launch locations later (with multiplayer update). Would be cool if they would all have an unique style/layout and players can choose from which one they start. Maybe some not located on equator, making the game a little harder. Hope one unlockable launch location is the KFC of KSP1

Edit: Launchpads could also be a limiting factor for how much automated supply routes you could launch from kerbin. In the game kerbin has unlimited supplies and this would give a realistic limitation to automated transport routes from the surface of kerbin, without limiting players to launch unique/cool rockets.
