Question for the schema team.....

Brilliant, if I'm reading this right then this means that we can easily build out own 'trains'. I can't wait to see the applications this can have, along with what people who are good with logic are going to do with this. Good luck on the work Bench.

i'd love to join your train ride, when it is possibe of course

I'm new to the game, so I have no idea what I would even do with rails. except for maybe rotating decorations. more interested in being able to change the speed of the \ key xD oh oh and maybe jetpacks. and cookies. and a way to charge for warp gate use. and loot clouds for player ships.

and loot clouds for player ships

That more or less exists in a way. There is an option in the server.cfg file that makes players drop blocks upon death, but by default it's set to X% of credits I believe.

Chances are rotating decoration are in mind for this feature.

Personally I want to use them so I can make this in game. http://gfycat.com/SociableGraveEquine

I saw an amaazzinngg ship on my server that used logic and plex doors to have a sliding door over his guns. it would slowly draw back into the ship and show the gun, and then cover it again it was so cool. not sure if guns work if they are covered though so it might be annoying to always have to remember to open the door first.

You can change the speed with the command //orbital_cam_speed value

I've already got a matching pair of hollow ring cavities in my current ship build that are designed to hold rotating gravity rings. They probably won't ever see actual gravity rings, but the space is there and is accessible in the RP interior walkways. (There are no lights along the ring cavities, and they are completely enclosed in the hull, so it's darn spooky in there.) I've even laid it out so that there is room for a 5x5x7 cabin to rotate freely 360 degrees. If it were working, the diameter of the floor of the gravity ring would be 67 blocks, give or take half a dozen. The doors to access the gravity rings are elongated to 3x their normal length, to allow an astronaut time and room to spacewalk to and from the connected hallway on the central part of the ship from the gravity ring. However, you'd still want to hurry, so Dave doesn't get cut in half, caught between the ring and the ship. (I can see astronaut carnage being a major part of the discussion on this subject of moving structures.)

Bro it's gonna have everything, pool, snooker table, rave house, black jack and hookers etc etc you name it it's there. Also probably gonna have any and all new blocks that might be in by the update, I tend to do that lol...should see the latest ship-entirely made out of SCAFFOLD! Best block confirmed.

jayman38 Am I the only one who is too scared to build now? Cause I don't know what the rail will look like see, and I have trouble retrofitting.

Still, hype for the next few weeks. Sucks that so many good stuff is coming out in March (We might see it on April) and not Feb.

You are probably the only one who is scared to build now. However, that may be because the hookers on your space train have space pimps (possibly squid pimps) that will demand their cut.

Due to the way space physics work, and without an atmosphere for resistance, space pimp hands are very much strong. A space pimp named Slickback...heh.
