I know this was requested and declined in #12 however it seemed like the request wasn't fleshed out very well.
Current behavior with StageRecovery and Kerbal Construction Time installed:
Dropped boosters that are recovered via SR get evaluated and refunded, however the craft itself disappears (intended behavior, obviously)
Boosters that are landed and recovered by KCT have the option for normal stock recovery (refund and disappear), or VAB/SPH recovery, the latter of which puts them back in KCTs craft inventory and makes them available for editing or reuse after a short recovery period.
How I propose integration of the two mods would behave:
Dropped boosters get evaluated by SR as usual.
A successful recovery either prompts the player what type of recovery they want (normal KSP recovery, KCT VAB, or KCT SPH), makes an educated guess (perhaps based on whether the craft was launched from the VAB or SPH?), or defaults to the VAB.
I haven't looked into the code yet but we know SR grabs the craft file of the recovered stage at the moment it would get destroyed, so SR can copy that and pass that onto KCT's methods for recovery to its inventory.
Thoughts? It's been a long time since I've done any coding but if you're open to PRs then maybe I can give it a shot.
