Is there a difference between using a rigid body and setting its mode to static vs using the static Physics node? What of the others as well, is there a performance penalty or something?
Never tried it, but maybe signals will still trigger. If not, then it doesn’t seem like there’ll be any performance penalty.

There are some functionality differences. StaticBodies have the artificial constant linear and angular velocities, KinematicBodies have the move() function, etc. RigidBodies don’t have those, but have a bunch of other functions, you can check the documentation for the full lists. I think you have to use RigidBodies if you want collision reports. I would assume there’s a tiny performance penalty for using RigidBodies, since they have more going on, but that’s just a guess.
