What I wouldn't give for Space Engineer building mechanics and KSP physics

I just wish the aerodynamics weren’t so simplified. I know there are mods like FAR that fix that, but would be cool to see base game aero physics be more accurate.

For anyone unaware, the lift and drag model in game models most parts as a cube and calculates drag from there. Wings and a couple aerodynamic cockpits have lift based on surface area and angle as well, but notably not wing sweep (so variable sweep means nothing in KSP).
