What is the most cool part in new ARM update

Just make your own with Sepatrons! I must say, I love The Claw, it offers up so many new options.

Seconded. Finally we can build multi-purpose sky cranes, and multi-purpose carriers. Now, if we could only get an expandable, stackable stock part, we could build real cranes.

I like the claw most because of its functionality. I also find the new tanks and engines really useful as they gave me the opportunity to throw out some mods. And i like having mission flags on my craft :)

Things I like best:

#1: Much stronger joints. It's now possible to use no struts at all except a minimal amount on very heavy radially attached parts. No more lacing/stapling the stacks together, which alone has halved the part count on everything I make.

#2: Much better performance, allowing for more ships in flight before lag starts. Now my Evil Space Empire can have more stuff going on at once, and I can even allow some debris to accumulate.

#3: The new Liquid Fuel Booster. It neatly combines in a single part the fuel of an orange tank and an engine with more thrust and better ISP than a Mainsail, in a package that's smaller and weighs a bit less. And if the purchase prices remain the same when 0.24 comes out, the LFB will only cost a bit more than an orange tank + pancake tank + Mainsail.

#4: The Claw. It has thousands of uses.

The claw is pretty cool and all, but I've swiftly become a firm fan of the new long SRB, the "S1 SRB-KD25k". The length makes it "look right" on bigger rockets, and the high thrust makes it perform right too. It also makes a great simple first stage for smaller rockets. There's just a pleasing elegance in popping a little probe on top and getting it nearly to orbit just like that, no fuss or complication.

And despite giving massively more thrust than any other 1.25 m part, it hasn't come in for the balance criticisms the new liquid engines have. The limitations of an SRB keep it balanced, I feel.

The new SRB is awesome. It works fery well for being an SRB, and the fact that you can unlock it quite soon in Career mode is quite helpful for sending stuff up into orbit.

Also, the new engines and the big parts look very nice! Can't wait to unlock them! :D
