What do you think about a way to add a configuration for use aside from the space elevator?

I was thinking that if I could route through a station that is on a ship then I could create a "ship elevator" to lift trains into orbit before the space-elevator is available.

Thoughts?

Spaceships switch surfaces multiple times on the way to their target and the target surface can change. The LTN API is meant to manage static connections between surfaces. Spaceships also can have flight times that exceed LTN's delivery timeout. So I'd say the idea is out of scope for this mod.

I hadn't really thought about the ship going anywhere but orbit and back. It would be very cool to run LTN to any arbitrary surface... but not practical as you say.

Would it be in-scope if it could just go between ground and orbit?

That scenario is still a lot less defined than an elevator which has a specific entity at a fixed location with a pre-existing UI to attach to. Just research that elevator, already :)

Oh, I've got the elevator. Achieved victory, even. It was more the challenge of trying to accomplish the same with a ship that seemed interesting. Thanks for the consideration.

And thanks for the mod! I had a space-elevator solution using vanilla trains as "cars" for freight delivered by/to LTN but this is much, much cleaner.
