Robotic service arm

[Plezples]

I would so much love to see something like this...
Could be done by three new parts: 90° hinge, struts of different lenght, hinged docking port for attaching stuff.
Control would be done the same way as RCS, but this time buttons move the port position ie. extension. Two more inputs would be needed for head rotation.
First tap would activate control, second tab would return the arm into designed position.
Concept made from existing parts:

Just ideas...

Nice

 

[GuHP20]

They could be used to capture asteroids.

 

[GunteR]

That's cool

 

[Tempest]

Thats some pretty good art

Seriously I will try to feature this (crediting you) in the next ideas thread because I know it will be viewed by more people

If I remember of course

MS paint... basicaly just copy and paste smaller parts into new ones. Than you just stick it all together.

Nice a claw will work wonders

I'd definitely love to see this in game, I'd probably use it to drink tea

Awesome idea. The controls might pose a problem though, since it would either cause your ship to become uncontrollable while the arm is in action or it would add too many buttons to the screen.

This could be solved by adding an automatic relative position keeper function, eliminating the need to control the ship and the arm at the same time.

Thats really coooool. It will help a lot if monopropellent (dont know how to write it) tanks and engines are added. And for docking when only using Ion engines

Now that’s the words from a true British man. Lol. If it does get added I’m gonna build a massive tea cup.

I can only imagine what you'd do with hinges in the game...
