I know this has already been suggested in this thread. I thought I would bring it up again because it's become more and more necessary.

With new systems, weapons, effects, aesthetic blocks, and expansions on old systems there is an increasing need for a minecraft style "creative mode". It's hard enough building one massive ship in the current sandbox mode. You have your entire inventory filled with standard, penta, tetra, and wedge blocks for at least two colours, maybe three, plus the same for glass, a number of different types of light blocks, then a numer of different type of coloured crystal blocks. It's also usually necessary to have docking block and enhancer blocks handy, as well as power generation, power storage, shield generation, and shield storage - and then a range of logic blocks as well. If you wanted to do work on a different part of the ship, you would have to swap out a number of these blocks for a different sort before swapping back to what you had before.
The tl;dr is: it's a bit inconvenient and tedious to build project ships/stations with the current sandbox mode systems in place due to the inventory limitations. This would very easily be solved with a minecraft style "creative mode", and with such a simple system in place I believe it would motivate people to build some really amazing things.
More than anything this is just a reminder to Schema that this is something that a number of people would like, as it would make our lives alot easier in the long run.
Cheers, Mind Lord
