Could someone add sky cranes to the game? The Curiosity Rover landed on mars like that, and it would look real cool.

    @KraZIvan @PlanesofJundroo I took mine down. With the new updates my RCS stopped working correct, the boosters had some faults and the legs didn't deploy anymore.
    That will take some time to fix

    I tried making a pseudo-skycrane using the pistons but my build suffers form oscillations and just about tears itself apart (hence why I only shared the rover and not the sky crane I built for it). There are other curiosity-type rovers in the "crafts " section complete with skycrane/landers of their own, I can't speak for their real-life accuracy but you may want to check them out and see if you like them, from the pictures I saw they looked very detailed and may have what you're looking for

    @PlanesofJundroo You know there's a suggestions page, right? Speaking of which, @AndrewGarrison could you make my Inflatable Heat Shield suggestion visible?

    Tow ropes that pull gliders are another example. Aerodynamic drag makes them "sail" so they curve up rather than down.

    I'm pretty sure tethers have been suggested several times before, but I'm having trouble finding one of those threads.
