A multistructure, modular rocket system is considered a core feature for tc-astronautics. There currently exists an API for recognizing template structures. This is used to verify the correct assembly of rocket multistructures.
The rockets consist of multiple modules that are of similar shape but differ in their core blocks and functionality (propulsion, fuel tanks, storage space, player seats, etc...)
the modules are stacked on top of each other and on rocket start (discussion about details required) the rocket is converted into an entity and flys away.
the rocket is constructed on a platform made for that purpose. This platform is also a multiblock structure.
simple rocket parts get detroyed after their use, more expensive may return after a while to the platform. Discussion about details required.
player modules are not to be implemented yet, since space travel is not a feature of the first release. The code should just be expandable to such modules.
