Hmm. Would it be possible to add a visible/invisible option for parts? (And an option to show invisible parts in the ship editor.).
Such an option can be used to:
- Create back and forth moving parts, without visible helping objects.
- Allow spacing to different locations, without having ugly objects that shouldn't be there.
- Add modules for stat-purposes, without having them visible.
Now, most of those things can be done by making a custom invisible bar with some hardpoints, but that has the unfortunate sideeffect of making editing difficult, since you cannot see said bars in the ship editor. Which makes setting up piston animations with them rather tricky.
