    Woot! I can see some neat effects that could be done like outlining a hallway and much much more. Can't wait to test when I get home.

    When I saw this, the first thing that came to mind was "I hope we can change the color with logic and lights". Would love to switch the blue consoles to red when I hit the "Red Alert" button on my ships / stations. Other then that thought though, they look amazing.

    That'd be nice, but it seems the differently colored consoles also have variations in the structure of the hardware (monitor areas, buttons, lights), not just the displayed stuff (which of course could be changed like how multi-state blocks change texture upon activation/deactivation).

    It wouldn't look right if pressing buttons would alter the hardware structure too, if signaling the blocks would simple swap the current models.

    I love the look of these.
    Oh, did the hitboxes on the light bars get changed? they're ginormous considering the size of the light bar itself and always got in the way of everything around them.

    Not sure that different button/screen/ect. placement in and of itself matters too much. The Dev's could keep each different console type (with regards to monitor, buttons, lights, ect.), and allow each of them to be colored. The downside is (If these blocks are all 1 block type, like blocks and half blocks) would require more block ID's. Oh, and the other down side would be a bit more clutter in the creative menu, and station/ship storage/building.

    That being said, I'm not losing any sleep over them not being color changeable. They are pretty cool to have ether way.
