very minor: Mothership ship icon class

[Pbhead]

we have ship, station, base, lander...

but the 'ship' icon, just doesnt quite feel right for multi-part mobile, detachable constructions.

A cute little 'mothership' icon would be nice, either some sort of rocket looking thing, or cute little UFO looking thing.

Just a little minor thing that I think would add a bit of awesome.

[ravener]

more icons and the ability to make our own classes would be nice i guess.

[Elemental]

Agreed on this one.

We also need a spaceplane sign.

Don't forget most of these are just placeholders.

I think a misc craft type should exist. My Kerbal Maneovering Unit is not a probe, Ship, or Rover.

It's amazing how many of these ship designations you want to see in the game after just a few seconds of thinking, actually. Tug, fuel depot, drive stage, impactor, orbital laboratory...

I would like to add types o probes. For example, communication satellites and science probes for instance. Very useful for users of Remote Tech or other moods. Nothing to mention that something like remote tech could be vanilla =)

Maybe the best solution would be to allow custom icons?

[Toastie_Buns]

What about a 'Flagship' option?

For the option of highlighting a certain ship you want to keep track of, or simply naming that ship the leader of its division.

Flagship/Mothership, what's the difference you say?! Mere semantics you cry? Well no, because Mothership sounds truly homosexual in the most flamboyant of ways.

"When in doubt, give the ability or decision to the users."

I'd recommend the addition of a drop-down where you can select user-named classes. i.e.

[checkmark/nockeckmark]Unnamed Group (0 Ships)

final line would always be "add new group".

Later, they could improve the interface a bit more. A simple, extra, dropdown would be useful for the short term, and pretty simple to implement.

User created vessel classes with their corresponding icons would be the best way to go.
