Gold foil probes

[NFUN]

Kerbal Space Program pays a lot of homage to NASA designs and ships in its part textures, but one trait that has become a hallmark of NASA probes isn't present. I'm sure there are plenty of mods that add probe cores or part with gold foil designs, but it would be nice and a little more realistic (realistic-looking, sometimes, at the least) to add in a part with such a texture.

Hmm... Mylar would indeed be a cool option. It kinda-semi-sorta looks like the toroidal fuel tank is like this, but that's all I know.

I think I would like to see a lighter skinned fuel tank(s) that look like this. maybe it could be a tweakable option for existing tanks? lighter skin but much less impact tolerant and higher drag in atmosphere?

Didn't you mention this previously?

Kool, I vote YES for gold foil.

I could've sworn I've seen gold foil on some parts, though I can't remember now what they were offhand.

This would be cool!

AEIS aerospace parts have gold foil(ish) probe cores. Plus Procedural parts has a foil texture which can be used on tanks or structural stuff.
