Throwable example

Create Aeronautics: Throwable Rope Connector is a lightweight addon for Create Aeronautics / Create Simulated that lets you place rope connectors from a distance.

Instead of manually walking over to every docking point, this mod gives you three ways to place rope connections:

throw a connector by hand
fire one from the Rope Connector Launcher
use the Mounted Rope Launcher for ship-mounted anchoring

Successful throws and shots place a normal Create Simulated Rope Connector and give you a normal Rope Coupling that is already linked to it, ready to attach to a Rope Winch.
