    A possible idea that hasnt been used yet is to have free spin rotators and having the basket detach with a high force detacher from the base rather than rotator powered, its allowed and its kind of historical accurate if that detach symoblises a rope or something.

    @ChunderDownUndeR I thought it would be easier to build catapults in SP. That ball doesn't want to fly anywhere. :/ Even with two x8 VTOL-engines and 2 VTOL-nozzles powering the catapult.

    @ChunderDownUndeR That's not a problem for my idea. I'll get to work then! :)

    @BRuthless They certainly are. you just cant use it on the projectile of course.
