More craft types and categories


Recommended Posts

I know this had already been suggested right here (or in another way here) but I'd really like that the devs add a few new types of craft such as satellites, airplanes/spaceplanes, etc.

And as the devs just added two new categories for unknown and Space objects (asteroids) i thought it could be a good time to suggest it.

Satellites already have a category, they come under "Probe". If it's manned, it's "Ship". "Satellite" refers to anything orbiting another thing, which makes the description a little hazy, but I assume that you mean the little robotic/manned capsules that stay in orbit around a body and don't land etc.

I do like the idea of a plane emblem, though. And maybe one for the following: Aircraft, prove lander, manned rover, multi-part ship. These are all on the Ribbon Generator and even have their own little emblems (though I do think that said emblems could do with a touch-up before implementation, if it does happen).

Either way, I'd prefer more content. We have enough categories to fit anything under, really, and they should be pretty low-priority. Maybe just add them in if the devs are, say, on a day off but feel the urge to do something productive while they're lounging around for the little time they have to do so, though I can't see why you'd want to do some extra work in the circumstances.

This is one of those, "put in with other stuff" changes that i do not believe would be very hard to do(probably in similar difficulty as speeding up time at the KSC/Tracking center)

I feel there only needs two or three more.

1. plane/spaceplane - This is probably going to come when the hit up on updating the outdating Spaceplane parts.(oh that day will be glorious!)

2. Buggy - a manned version icon of the rover

3. Starship/mothership - or in other words a large multi part vessel. Can be used for a station sized ship that is going to go places.

Well what I called satellites is a unmanned object sitting in a definite orbit and without any intended change of orbit.

The buggy and mothership categories would also be cool and yeah I don't say it is of primary importance but that it would be a nice thing to add if they have any spare time.

And as they just added two I believe it shouldn't be that long to do.

I don't think priority really matters with something like this, as adding another class should be a matter of a few minutes. We have an entire building for building planes, and a runway to launch them, it's about time we get an icon for them too.
