Ships Ship Packs and Game Collision Models

I've recently obtained my Exobiology Elite badge which I'm quite chuffed at.

So I'm thinking about getting a ship pack or two to celebrate my achievement.

Looking on the FDev store, the text says these do not affect the performance of the ship and are "purely cosmetic".

Hmmm......


The Cutter Survey pack has two probes on either side of the nose and on the outside of both engine nacelles.

Do the packs change the size of the collision model ? Eg. If I dive down to a planet surface, will the probes hitting the ground count as an impact against my ship/shields ? Or would they just disappear under the terrain ? Same with the nacelle probes and docking. Do they collide or does the game ignore their presence ?

Cheers o7
 
Interesting question. I know that they were changed so that people on foot could walk on ship extensions, but I don't think they increase the hit box in flight.
