Ship movement output logic block (cooler than it sounds)

[Mariux]

I suggest adding a directional block that would output a logic signal if an appropriate movement key is pressed, for example, if the ship movement output block is facing forwards, everytime you would accelerate forwards by pressing W, the block would activate. This could be useful when making fancy fake RCS thrusters or easier to operate VTOL engines that wouldn't require you to use your hotbar, only the E (up) key.

Honestly, why not allow us to set hotkeys to activate logic while piloting? You could have your 'press W for zoom effect', as well as 'press Y to deploy drones' (I know you can do that with hotbar logic blocks now, but I like hotkeys).

EDIT Nevermind, I misunderstood you a bit, sorry :p

Probably bad wording, should have been sleeping at the time of posting. My bad.

I like your idea, i actually suggested something simmilar in the Council thread, make all computers output a signal when they are in use, together with thrusters....

I would aboslutely enjoy this. Naming is aways subjective but we should call it an accelerometer block.
