Destruction and Repairs

[ImperialistPigDog]

Just a suggestion to make crashing and explosions more pleasing, because who doesn't want that! What if instead of the parts exploding into nothing they broke into pieces or got bent out of shape?

Say your rocket crashes and the big orange Rocko-Max tank hits the ground, instead of just exploding it breaks into two smashed pieces. This could also at more importance to EVAs. Imagine you'r docking but you smash into a girder and it doesn't break off your ship it just bends out of shape. Now you have to send a kerbal to repair it.

Tell me what you think. good eh?

Some parts already have this, landing gears, legs and wheels I think (although I've never had to use them. My craft are always fine, or utterly obliterated, no nice "slightly damaged" middle ground for me!)

It could be a nice idea, but about the big tank of fuel, I believe that if it's going to break into pieces, it should explode...it's full of fuel!

But still, its an interesting idea.

I was JUST thinking about this... that would be cool, and there are parts where you get replasement parts to fix things and you carry them on EVA.

Ha ha, yeah I guess if its full of fuel it would explode into nothing! But still it could be out of fuel.

[ImperialistPigDog]

Great minds think alike! Replacement parts would be awesome, definitely add more to gameplay.

[RocketTurtle]

Yeah, this would be cool.

Raredens picture of Eeloo could become a virtual reality.

Luk at dose bent girders.

That's a suggestion I was going to make as well, fully-fuelled tanks should make HUUUUUUUGE explosions when they go up (I want my launch escape system and reflexes to be tested to the limit if something goes wrong!)
