Long Range Landing Gear

Making something with a new model might be the biggest hurdle. This was incredibly low effort, ALL that I did was pull out the invisible dummy line that did the docking lock, and make it longer. And it was well before DX11. I wonder if it uses Blender? I learned the VERY basics of that to play around in VRchat for a while.

how do i mod blocks like this

Lol no. Do it yourself. Feel free to use anything I've done here, but I haven't even looked at this in a long time.

please make a mod that adds a landing gear with a silly range {25 M} for orbital turrets please do not make the mod replace the normal gear with it but adds another block

Newest recreation of the mod with all credits to you EvilSmoo can be found here . It was done as a request by someone who really loves your mod, but couldn't deal with the DX9 textures anymore :(

Yes. I have considered that.

The main problem is: I simply don't care enough. That's a lot of work, and completely not worth the effort to me.

Don't let me stop *you* though, go nuts and make it, and I'll happily subscribe to it! :D

Have you considered a version that didn't bother looking like a landing gear?

Get a ship into a decent hover, and lock. Without the pesky footpad sticking out.

Perhaps looking like a grav generator. (upside down when mounted on the bottom of a ship.)

Could also be used to capture drifting debrie.

Sure, go nuts. It's only a minimally edited stock landing gear with the lock dummy extended anyway.

Oh my no. And probably never going to be.
