It'd be nice if somehow, someway, we could put our cool ELN power and our RF lines on the same poles - for simplicity sake. It'd sure make power distribution alot easier.

This doesn't need to be very advanced; maybe a few tiers of special wires made just for the occasion.
They could be as complex or simple, cheap or expensive, and effective or as nerfed as y'all want it to be.

In short; make transmission poles have more purposes than just transporting ELN power from A to B.

I think its easier to make eln power connectors and use immersive engineering wires and poles.

I think we had discussed this at length, and basically the idea is to let people place isolators similar to how Immersive Engineering does it, and then make your own pole. We might also provide place-able poles that you can just slap whatever mod's isolators on.

That thought came to my head after submitting that - IE-like connectors.

What about the ability to add a platform on the side of ELN poles to put the special connectors onto?

ELN2 could add like I said, a platform on the side of utility poles, and maybe a IE-like connector for ELN connections in special occasions?

I think it'd be nice to wire say a house to the pole using the hanging wire like you'd see IRL and being able to connect a normal cable to that connector.

edit - for some reason i didnt think IE had a modern port; using your time to re-engineer that system may be pointless if IE is still available
