and hook the socket to a plug it will snap into place, making a good way to attach stuff to things without ever having to weld and position. The only problem is that it is VERY wobbly since the plug is small but the missile pod is big. Could somebody add an option to the plug and socket so it can not only weld itself together, but also weld constrained props together? Kind of like the grabber weld link if you know what I'm talking about.
This would make it possible to have easy attachments, because the weapon/object can be wired to the plug's outputs. By plugging something into a socket, it is instantly wired, welded, and angled to the contraption. It just needs more stability.
Look at the pictures below and see what I mean. All you have to do is position the attachment and it will snap into place and wire up. With this missile pod, as soon as you move the socket on to the plug it angles,welds, and is read to fire.
