Tethers!!!

I had a thought that Tethers, could be a new feature in the game. The Tether could be useful for when landing big rovers on Cylero or Luna. Or they could be used for tugging spacecraft around. Or could be helpful if a manned vehicle gets stuck or trapped.

The Tether could be really customisable, like landing gears or engines, you could customise the length, or the with, or how fast it unravels.

It could be possible to customise the base of the Tether. Like let's say on what rotation the roller should go, or what type of base style it should be.

You could also customise if the Tether can cut it's self to untether objects, or you could add something like a magnet, or a counterweight at the end of the Tether.

And if you could add the Tether, you could also add realistic physics, like say if you put too much force on the Tether and it snaps or breaks, the Tether or the base of the Tether itself. And if you add some weight at the end of the Tether other physics could happen. The possibilitys are endless!

I think this feature would be a success, if the Tether was to be added, what do you guys think?
