Allow parts to connect to more than one other.
When building a large rocket it is hard to determine which object my current selection should connect to. A confirmation box (a box with tick/crosses for valid edges, greyed out for no connectivity) of which edges need to be connected. If one edge is only possible then the confirmation message could be ignored (nose cone). This idea could also be used to sharing fuel tanks so you could make 1 big tank for an engine either horizontally, vertically or both.
This will add rigidity to tall rockets where there is only one connecting edge at the top of the segment.

Part Damage
Basically, the way guns work right now seems to destroy the whole plane in a couple hits, I think it would be more interesting if part damage was a thing. Basically, if a wing was hit its drag would increase for that wing only, making flight more difficult, if it hit any part with fuel it would leak (or explode if damage was high enough), if a part with animations (landing gears, rotators and air flaps) the animations would play slower, making landing difficult, and if an engine was hit, it would burn and produce less thrust. So basically, one…

"Manned" space flight
Give us an astronaut in the capsule in sandbox mode. Let us take him to the smoon and other smplanets to walk around, etc. We could keep track of his accomplishments. Try and build his career. If the unfortunate happens and he doesn't make it home from a mission? Would add extra considerations for aborting missions, potentially forcing decision points for his safe return.

Space stations and other orbiting objects
I think that it would be realy cool to create docking stations and being able to have more than one rocket out at a time (You know, switching between them at a tracking station) I realise this would be too close to KSP, but it would be very cool.

Add a cargo bay part to hold rovers, etc.
A large box shaped part in which you can put your rover so when you land it opens up and the rover comes out.
make it so you can shut the cargo door and fly back with the rover.607 votesThis is now completed in SimpleRockets 2, which is now available for iOS, Android, PC, and Mac:

Cannon
I believe we need a thingy that can flung chunks of kaboom to a distance of far away.
Key features: recoil animation, simple model, muzzle blast, explosive ammo.
Useful for: Tanks, ships, armoured vehicles, early attack aircraft.
This is one of the few components we can't make with existing parts, as all three known systems have great shortcomings.

Make a website to share/vote for rockets (like SimplePlanes.com)
You can e-mail rockets, why not have a large database with rockets that people have built that can be voted for relevance.

Show trajectory in different SOI
Would be useful for lunar/interplanetary trips. The ability to see your periapsis in an encounter before arriving at the SOI, being able to see your trajectory around the sun while still in a planet's SOI (for making use of the oberth effect). This would also allow accurate slingshots.

Mirror button
All rockets are symmetrical. It would be nice to just add a mirror button to duplicate all rocket parts from one side to the other of the rocket

Display deltaV and TWR
In order to accurately plan maneuvers, every rocket navigator needs two crucial numbers:
1) Velocity change available (deltaV), the rocket's range (sort of)
2) Thrust-to-weight ratio (TWR), how fast the rocket can accelerateKnowing how much deltaV is left, a pilot can calculate which orbits, moons, or planets are within reach. Knowing the TWR, a pilot can predict whether his rocket can overcome gravity to safely take-off or land.
In flight, SimpleRockets should display the current TWR and the total deltaV remaining in the whole the rocket. When designing a new rocket, the staging setup menu should also give the…

Add your own launch locations.
Such as a construction base satellite. Once in orbit and activated, it will appear on the planets list. Giving you the ability to build and launch a ship straight from the satellite!

Make New Parts/Astronauts/Space Stations
New parts list:
Docking Port: Reattach to this. Can be used on space stations, possibly used for refueling.
RCS Thrusters: Help maintain balance when landing
Biofuel Systems: Can be tanks, engines, anything. It would just be a cool way to travel because you could generate fuel.
Base supplies: Can be carried and placed on planets. Everyone wants bases and space stations to go to!
Astronauts: Can get out and walk around, interact with rovers, bases, and everything else
