Massless parts and Aero overhaul

[Tracer13]

I'm very interested in the new Aero overhaul and can't wait to try some spaceplanes in it. Having said that, what do you think is going to happen to massless parts during the overhaul? Will they still be massless? How will they contribute to the drag of a craft? How will we compensate for the change of these parts, since now it doesn't really matter where you put them? Has this already been discussed? If so, please point me that direction!

Thanks,

Tracer

I don't know.

I suspect that at it's first implementation the mass-less parts will also be drag-less. Perhaps further down the line those parts will get a .1 increase to both values...maybe?

Speculative at best for now.

I never used to fly planes in KSP, but the contracts system had really made me enjoy them. Now I'm afraid to build any due to the upcoming changes. I'm really looking forward to trying new plane and SSTO designs though when the update hits.
