New Parts - Ship Core A1, A2, A3, B - Fuel Tank End caps and Nosecones

Current intent is to add additional mesh-switch capability to fuel tanks to enable adding a nosecone or various adapters.

Features:

  • Integrated into fuel tanks - no additional parts required
  • Top and bottom switchable independently
  • Adds additional fuel capacity of the same fuel type as the main tank
  • Can move/remove attach nodes properly for adapter, multi-coupler, or nosecone use / drag considerations.
  • Independently configurable texture switch from the main tank; however top + bottom caps remain linked (limitation of transform-naming system; investigating solutions)
  • re-use geometry for top+bottom caps, auto clone + flip, rename to same mesh name for texture-swapping purposes

Todo:

  • textures - lots and lots of parts to texture - initial basic colors pass done, but needs attentive normals and spec work.
  • 3.75m attach node positions (whole config is borked at the moment)
  • investigate adding flag transform (on intertank?) -- could even be a separate always-present model
