Now that career mode is coming closer with each update that comes in, I'd like to see multiple command chips, each one progressing on power efficiency, amount/speed of vizzy commands, data storage and overall features. My idea is to have 3 new command computers, while maintaining the original command chip for testing more complex crafts. Every command chip can be resized, changing the price and attributes of it.

Level 1:

This command computer would be very unpractical, with barely any storage available, and very demanding on energy. Basically a 50s-60s computer like the one found on the Saturn V, you can choose between a mechanical or digital based arquitecture.

Level 2:

In this case, the computer would become much more compact and have better features, allowing users to play around with most features and vizzy programs, but it would still consume plenty of power. The era from these computers would be from the 70s-90s

Level 3:

Lastly, this computer would have around the same capacities of a PowerPC (like the ones found in NASA's rovers)

Suggestion Done Fixed in 0.9.923.0

    @Zenithspeed it's fully kept, not just as legacy

    i'm guessing the original solo chip part is kept (and likely turned into a legacy part) for craft compatibility?

    An update on how we implemented this. Instead of having it affect vizzy (it felt a bit pointless in gameplay) we made it so it's a fuselage with a chip and configurable gyro and battery, so you get a one fits all part that can be part of the actual structure of the vessel and not a chip hidden in between fuselages.
