Had a thought about another structural part that might be easy to add. A "hub" - basically a structural cylinder that has stack attachment points radially around it's girth.

Extra parameters would be:

• an "end offset" = distance from base/top (0 to length)
• a "spoke count" = how many radial points (0 to inf)
• a "ring count" = how many ring layers or spokes along the remainder of length (spaced at ((length- 2(offset))/ring count) intervals)

As cool as this idea may be, you could just use a procedural structural part and flipped cubic octagonal struts, or radial attachment points, or a variety of stock and mod parts. Also EditorExtensions pretty much has this with its forced radial attachment options.

OtherBarry has a good point, will close this one.

Ah. I do actually quite like this idea, and many other people seem to find it necessary. My point was more that it is probably of lesser priority than other parts that don't exist/cant be made like procedural trusses and such, but up to you.

I think it's low enough to keep it closed. There's plenty of other things to be working on :)
