Mergeable Armour Panel - for airtight, walkable docking ports

Version 1.3.1: a tenth of the filesize, ten times the texture quality, in both DX11 and DX9

If you've ever had the problem of creating an airtight docking port that lets you walk across it, only to find that merge blocks aren't airtight or that other blocks will stop your ships from being able to unmerge and undock without grinding the blocks down first, this is for you.

This armour panel is missing a mount point on one side. That means you can create airtight, walkable docking ports using these, along with a merge block or two, which are also easy to undock from - unlike the normal panels (or other blocks, for that matter).

Because the docked ships won't be connected by the panels, your ships won't still be stuck together when you unmerge.

So with these, undocking two ships can be as simple as switching off the merge block.

How to use:
The edge with the warning tape on it should be left free, facing outwards. This is the edge without a mount point, which should contact the other ship when docked.
