SE-4 Multi-Adapter

[Stratickus]

Couple of very minor issues and suggestions:

• The sub type naming convention is slightly misleading. Because the center attachment node is always available, the '2 sub type' really has 3 attachment points etc.
• Because of its wider 2.5m base, more versatility is available compared to the SM series adapters. While the description states that the SE-4 is meant for 0.625m applications, up to four 1.25m parts/engines fit nicely, especially with several of your 1.25m engines that have 0.625m (compact) upper attachments. As an example, I was able to recreate the LV-601-4 easily.

With this in mind a triangular, three attachment point sub type would be great. Currently the '2 sub type' works with three attachment points, however, it is linear and does not as effectively utilize the space provided by the 2.5m base.

• Finally, because it is possible to attach compact 1.25m engines, the bottom attachment point for the SE-4 often does not extend below the engine bell.

The example is meant to show that up to four compact R1-D's and two (non-compact) NV-100's can fit well using the SE-4 and both engines bells extend below the SE-4 bottom attachment node. The lower SE-4 is attached to the upper SE-4's bottom attachment node. Additionally, both of these 1.25m applications appear to be about the limit for number of 1.25m engines; they were both about the largest/tallest 1.25m engines I could find among your packs. Adding a second bottom attachment node, similar to the NR-M4 would feasibly be the best solution as it would still support 0.625m and 1.25m applications

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Figured I could help out with the second bottom node.

node_stack_bottom15 = -0.0, -2.225, 0.0, 0.0, -1.0, 0.0, 2

This allows attachment of other parts below 1.25m engines such as some of the taller 1.25m engines like the R1-D, S1-V, VSR LV-T45, but not the VSR LV-N, NV-100.

Also of minor note, the SE-4 at the bottom has 3x S1-V's arranged in a triangular alignment.

I'll address some of this in the next version
