XCon 3 is !ALMOST! ready for launch! This is beta 2, and I'd love your guyes feedback. It no longer uses an explosive core. There are a ton of improvements to the design.

1: No more explosive core
The explosive core was a crude self-destruct device, and with enough impact, it would blow its self up, and destroy the internal mechanics. There is no longer a core, but more space for cameras! (3 more than v2!)
2: Rigid Outside & Core
The core is now a set of just regular blocks, in the form of an 'H'. They help the craft float, and stay undamaged.
2: No longer relies on shocks
Although they are still used for assistance, they are no longer really required, but still are used for extra bracing. In v2, if one snapped, it's game over & the self-destruct payload would start (the rockets are attached to them). Now, if one snaps you'll likely get a warning from the game, and you should either deploy parachutes or increase your physics level.
3: Looks Nicer
The outside helps it stay in form, and also prevents people from snooping inside of your electronics. (Although the core should hold this, it's very annoying to pack the core)
4: More Customization
You can now rotate and modify the cameras and other equipment more easily
!!! WHAT NEEDS IMPROVEMENT
Right now, I think Beta 3 will make it a lot bigger, to support the rotating system's ability to change pitch better.
!!! YOUR FEEDBACK
I'd love your guy's feedback on this, and what I should change.
