I just found a piece of jewelry (a long thin bar, almost square) that has an attachment point floating a little ways away from its underside. I didn't see it before because I never used the piece rotated. I'm assuming I'm not the first person to find this. Are there other pieces of jewelry available in an unmodded game that allow floating ship parts? I like 'em a lot, but this one is somewhat limited (being as it is a large bar that needs to be kept big to work right).
Picture of the first ship I designed using the piece in question: [link="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v351/DreadArchon/GC2floatybitz.jpg"]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v351/DreadArchon/GC2floatybitz.jpg">Link
(I plan to make a dreadnought with a bunch of floating shield generators next.

)
Edit: Actually, I ended up making a battleship escorted by frigates.
