Procedural mechanics

[CyclonicTuna]

There are a few mods out there that introduce procedural parts which allow you to custom make several things like, tanks, boosters, wings and fairings. I think that Squad should definetely make this part of the vanilla game. Not only that, I think they should also introduce procedural structural parts. This way if you want to make a big strut, instead of having to place strut upon strut. you can just have one part. This will also ofcourse decrease the part count and increase preformance. Not to mention that you can finally make that one piece to fit together you're space station perfectly instead of having to pick away at several static parts that all don't quite fit.

Also, I think you should be able to have procedural parts in more unorthodox shapes. Maybe someone wants an octaginal shaped booster, or a square fuel tank. Or maybe you need a very thing long wing with lots of control surfaces like on the U2 spyplane.

It would truely propell KSP towards being a game with endless posibility and borderless design.

There was a fairly long discussion on this a short while back...

It has its benefits, and its detriments.

For now I would like to see more proceduraly generated features for the terrain to sorta give more to look at when you get to a planet/moon.
