I need YOUR ideas for simple, stockalike parts!

Simply put, I need ideas. No guarentees i'll make them, but I want ideas for simple, stockalike (simple really means no animations, etc.) parts. Basically, structural parts, engines, and fuel tanks are all fair game. (Just don't expect textures to be of the highest quality, so it's probably best to ask for small parts.)

A fuel tank? Sure! An engine? Okay! a-really-cool-do-hickey-that-lets-you-expand-your-station-13-ways-in-the-4th-dimension? Uh.. Awesome!

I want to try to get better at 3D modelling things, and I figure this would be the perfect chance. (I'm not very good, so obviously i'll need time.)

And of course, if I don't make something, someone else can gladly do it for them if I don't. :) I want to make stockalike parts (I think the simple art-style would be good, and at least it'd force me to not just draw some lines in GIMP saying "Fuel Tank" and call it done.)

I also have experience packaging parts in unity, making them usable in KSP, etc. so i'll try to give them to people, i'll just need to set up a Google Drive or something first.

So far, I think the hardest thing I've tried to make so far is an ion bi-directional RCS port (which was rendered impossible in the stock-game due to stock bugs, but whatever)

Those obviously weren't the final textures, but you get the general idea. (I also applied a smooth shader later on.)

So, what's that one part you've been wanting but hasn't been important enough to start it's own thread?

(p.s, if you have a general idea for a part, please specify a size (or at least compare it to other parts). that way I actually know what i'm doing, and know how much detail I need to apply. Obviously, a Kerbodyne tank will need more detailed texturing than a tiny battery.)

IDEAS!

Why don't you just search the forum for all threads with the [Request] tag?

Uh.. Because..

...Why didn't I think of that?

Still, I found that after searching, most of them are either plugin requests, or for parts that are too high level for me (e.g landing gear/cargo bays, which would require animations, which I haven't quite gotten working right yet)

I figure this thread might be a good idea; for all the simple things people want (but not exactly need)

Implying that some are not. So do those? Do the ones that have the most requests or are most discussed.

Fair point, i'll probably just have this thread closed. (people can still PM me if they want requests though)
