Idea Operational Vehicle Assembly Building(VAB)

[GalaxyWanderer]

I had an idea while lurking around the forums so I decided to come out of hiding and become a member on the forums(BTW I love all the ingenious mods here everyone!). Basically, I was recently playing KSP and later was browsing these forums when I came across the Interplanetary Modular Spacecraft Mod and I thought, why not have a mod that allows you to, instead of loading a prefabricated scenario, enter a VAB and construct your own custom spacecraft out of a boatload of interchangeable parts, a-la Kerbal Space Program. It would then let you name the rocket/spacecraft/whatever contraption you built and let you choose to launch it from a chosen surface base. I ask you modding geniuses out there, is this possible and would any of you be interested in helping me develop something like this(I would like to learn to mod orbiter, and I have Sketchup, Unity, and Audacity)?

I wouldn't attempt such a project until after the new orbiter release is out as it contains the new collision detection of the spacecraft. Featuring the ability to have docked ships landed. Essentially, I think an alteration of velcro rockets would accommodate a KSP type rocket building through the ingenious use of dialog boxes

Also the next Orbiter will have a better attachment/Docking system, from what I have heard.

So, is anyone even interested? I could model a huge VAB and some parts and if someone would be so kind as to pair up with me and look into the coding, we could try doing a workable proof of concept(full features would wait for the next orbiter!).
