Suggestions about little changes
Hi Marcus,

finally I have learned a bit how to modify the blocks on my own. Without knowing you have been a great teacher !

As a little "thank you" I would like to suggest a few more changes to your already really great modified thrusters.

Ion Thrusters, large
( Now even smaller and additional mounting points )
<Size x="3" y="2" z="2" />
<ModelOffset x="0" y="0" z="-2.5" />

[...]

<MountPoint Side="Back" StartX="0" StartY="0" EndX="3" EndY="2" Default="true" />
<MountPoint Side="Front" StartX="0" StartY="0" EndX="3" EndY="2" />
<MountPoint Side="Top" StartX="0" StartY="0" EndX="3" EndY="2" />
<MountPoint Side="Bottom" StartX="0" StartY="1" EndX="3" EndY="3" />
<MountPoint Side="Left" StartX="1" StartY="0" EndX="3" EndY="2" />
<MountPoint Side="Right" StartX="0" StartY="0" EndX="2" EndY="2" />

Now the exhaust is only a deco element without hindering any placement. And because the flames are still centered, it is possible to surround the exhaust with half armor blocks even on the long sides and full armor blocks on the short sides.

Atmospheric Thrusters, large
( Shrinking to the size of a small atmospheric thruster ... and beyond ;o) )

<Size x="1" y="1" z="2" />
<ModelOffset x="0" y="0" z="-1.25" />

[...]

<MountPoint Side="Top" StartX="0" StartY="0" EndX="1" EndY="2" />
<MountPoint Side="Left" StartX="0" StartY="0" EndX="2" EndY="1" />
<MountPoint Side="Right" StartX="0" StartY="0" EndX="2" EndY="1" />
<MountPoint Side="Bottom" StartX="0" StartY="0" EndX="1" EndY="2" />
<MountPoint Side="Back" StartX="0" StartY="0" EndX="1" EndY="1" Default="true" />

[...]

<Center x="0" y="0" z="1" />

To place such a small "large atmospheric thruster", you have to place at least one block within the thruster as a support element like a internal structure... or you attach the thruster with the center top of its rotor. It looks really great to let two large thrusters face each other. You can even stack them facing in the same direction ( although you need to turn off the thruster damage for this - I haven't found out how to make the thrusters immune to their damage )

At last, I have seen you are not a native English speaker. Neither am I. In fact my English is lousy ;)

To get a little bit more attention to your mod, maybe you should replace some words in your mod description. You have named your modified landing gear and thrusters "suitable". But I think you mean "customizable" instead. I have found your mod by searching for landing gears. By luck I noticed your mod offers exactly what I have been looking for: A less bulky landing gear.

(possible additional keywords for your mod marked with bold )

With your mod I am now able to build less bulky landing gears, less bulky thrusters, cover unwanted deco elements of the gears and thrusters, offer a little bit more protection to the gears and thrusters and even offer a little bit more airtightness around the gears and thrusters... all because of your fantastic mod.

Many thanks !
