Yes, I see - building on a server does make templates considerably less useful. No need to sell me on your suggestion: like I've already said, I made an identical suggestion shortly before you posted this one.

SMEdit doesn't play nice with .obj files. One possible "solution" for you might be to reconvert your obj back to SM format with this: binvox to sm3 blueprint (Released) I know the author is planning to allow custom core placement, if he hasn't already.

You're a bit off ;) It's an aspect ratio of 15:1, which is about half of one of your pencils, not two of them.

Ring turrets ("rings on a finger" as someone else here said) on a long thin ship should pretty much allow all the ship's firepower to be directed in any direction. (And a 3km ship that is only 100m blocks large will be pretty long and thin)

So can I - it wasn't for no reason I posted an identical suggestion shortly before this one was posted (you posted a reply in it). I specifically wanted to know why templates weren't a solution for Edymnion and his particular situation. This won't be done unfortunately. Different blocks can...

I'm ignorant on the finer details of storage, so this is just a question for me to learn something, but isn't the same storage block in a group always filled first? Couldn't you just test it for emptyness?

Whatever the thrusters are now or become later, there should always be that feeling at the end of needing to sacrifice one (or more) aspect of performance for another. Not only is it realistic, but it's what makes design a challenge, and interesting, and fun, and it helps make each ship more...

Why aren't templates a solution for you? I know the copy paste controls are pretty nasty, but surely you could do what you're describing here with them (assuming you're in single player with no template size restriction). Don't think I don't like this suggestion (I made an absolutely identical...

There's no difference from the perspective of a non-admin.

How often do you think it would have to happen to be considered an issue? Once makes it an issue, I'd say. It damages the credibility of suggestions and their ratings as a whole. This is good practice, of course, but doesn't addres the issue at hand. The time of edits, and matching them to...

I like the idea, I'd love to be able to use all these for detail work, I'm just not sure how feasible it is. For example wedge slabs: you could go to 5 bits for orientation, like corners, but 5 bits isn't enough for 4 thickness’s of wedge - it's only enough for two.

Yes, I know. That doesn't allow for accurate ratings if OP's are changed after they gather likes. No-one is going to keep tabs on an OP to see if it changes so they can update their like. You end up with suggestions whose like levels are no longer of any value, because they can't be trusted to...

I found youtube videos to be invaluable. The ones made by Bench are probably the best available.

Good point re. non-suggestions. Yes, suggestions only would be fine.

Currently, posts can be edited forever. Could this be changed to allow editing only for the first 1 hour, or 24 hours, or 48 hours, after creation? I've just seen a suggestion OP changed after 2 weeks and 20+ likes.

As soon as you build a ship the way it's done in real life, instead of placing 1m3 blocks, sure! ;) I've discussed this specific point previously. Many things in game are abstracted for our convenience, including building. It's perfectly reasonable to expect reverse engineering to be...

"we, we, us, we"...how many people do you think you actually speak for? You don't represent what is written in the OP of this thread.

That level of "truly knowing" is beyond what's needed for reverse engineering. All you need is for a copy to be functionally indistinguishable by anyone using/observing them. I believe in your previous post you said being given the manual by the owner would be good enough for reverse...

This is a good point. Converting ores to goods is free and automated, so miners and manufactured goods merchants are never going to be two separate groups, they'll always be one and the same. Trade will happen between builders wanting to buy components and materials, and miners/merchants as...

The OP, as it's written ( I realise the OP has also commented on this more recently) specifically states that the suggestion is not intended to stop copy/pasting to templates. As soon as you stop copy/paste, you go back to the same situation I've been posting about for the last week or whatever...
