Human Being shared this feedback ago

This would be great for everything from cargo ships to boarding pods.

Small ship:

3x6

50m range

Large ship:

1x2

100m range

Turret (maybe):

3x3

80m range

Large ship only

All variants:

Option for auto reel. After contacting a surface grapple reels in automatically.

Option to set max range

Option to set max pull force

Option to set disconnect force

Tow cables would be great. Problem is expecting the actual cable to behave. What would happen if you fly a ship into the cable while its attached to something?

For the sake of pc performance, nothing. Nothing should happen if something flies through the cable.

Like the Idea, but there's already a mod for that.https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1383970860&searchtext=grapple

That's a ship design, not a mod m8

That thing will explode if you fly a ship into it.

Go take a look at how ropes work in Medieval Engineers and then come back and tell us you still want this.

Try using cables in kerbal space program! You'll understand why we don't do that IRL, either.

When the COM of a physical system isn't actually near any of the mass, things get really wonky.
