wow! Nice first attempt! Downloading to try out!

Looks nice! There are some similar pieces in NovaPunch, but I never see anyone using them. They're quite handy, though, for people that want good looking engine clusters without clipping nosecones into the side of the tank.

Consolidating the mounting point and the shroud into a single piece will cut the part-count a bit, too.

Ok, I'll give it a go. I tried those ones that were released a few months back but as they were pre-clipped tails they were quite unwieldy, heavy and not easy to get to go where desired.

The collision mesh of this part does clip into the collision mesh of the tank but it appears not to be a problem, i have noticed no phantom forces or unexplained explosions during testing.

The Novapunch ones are decouplers though, which is a royal pain if you want to stick a big engine on, they just don't want to stay attached. I converted a couple to fixed parts which seems to work, but they still look like decouplers rather than integrated assemblies.

There are both decouplers and fixed mounting points.
