They make building so much better but:- the "solid" one is 3 times the weight of the transparent one. do you think you can make one that is only 2 times the weight of the transparent one? you could make the heavy ones we`ve got now a bit darker and use theire current skin for the medium plates.- could you add another AP to each plate in the corner? it would make "exoskeleton building" much easier and more flexible since you can save weight with not needing some weired extenderwork to get one of those things on- can you change them so we can attach components to the armorplates? would be cool for future designs.-ThyIt would be a lot of grind work, but a middle weight of armor plates with corner attach points could easily be done. Actually, this would be one of those things that someone else could help with, as it would just involve reskinning and adding APs.I was thinking about something like this:Just to get this straight, by "corner attach points", you mean on the same face as the other attach points but in the corner, right?Attaching components to them sounds cool in theory, but you have to be careful not to add too many and make them too good. You'd need some fixed number of component attach points regardless of size, or else the 120x120 plates would have at least 9 attach points, which would definitely break them. Which means you need either 1 attach point in the center, or 4 in the corners. What do you think? Is one attach point for components enough? I would hesitate to add four of them.I had 4 APs in mind like that:

<*Jade*> Are you trying to blow up Jupiter?
what about 30, 50, 70, 90 & 110 cm extenders?
- A skirt hinge flipper motor - I believe one was already made for a Cassius replica (correct me if i'm wrong. But whilst the new piston motors are quite good, there is still no way to get a front-hinged flipper axis close enough to the point of a wedge.
