I have naming conventions in place to help. My fighters are named after birds, harvesters are woodworking tools, combat craft are bladed weapons, freighters are beasts of burden. Of course that's just for class names, when I fly the ships they get their own personal names, which I do always...

Yeah I really want the ability to rotate computer/display modules in every direction. Decorative computers should also be a single face like the personal computer.

I also hope for one day for additional light sources, invisible, nearly invisible or "low profile" source such as dome lights that you can stick on the face of a block and doesn't stick out like a rod.

You could try using some rod lights as well. These are not embedded into the wall/ceiling so I believe they will cast a little more light as they are light source isn't obstructed by the other blocks.

In addition to fine control I really hope the permission system uses the controller block system (C+V). I really hate that you have to physically have the permission block next to what you want to give permission to access.

Most of the time I have come across this problem is when I am trying to filter grey, which brings up both. Other posible solutions, Ash or Slate http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/grey

Minecraft still uses Java, it just comes packaged with the game now. This, as far as I know, is also planned for starmade.

Yeah, preferring one weapon type over another doesn't exactly exclude the use of the others especially when it comes to missiles which more often than not fall in a "secondary weapon" category. Beams or Cannons are your primary and many people will choose one over the other but will often still...

Yeah those are all the variations we would need to go from slab to nill, slab to full block, from slab to up and down one size, and the wedges to adjoin two slabs from perpendicular faces. They are the ones I thought would be most useful. There are so many possible slab -> slab wedges once you...

I've gotten stuck on the edges of perfectly flat floors before so that doesn't surprise me at all.

I've seen this happen randomly in creative mode. You place a block and it vanishes. The same block can be placed from your regular inventory while not in creative. Restarting the game solved the problem. Did the problem persist the next time you loaded up the game?

I assume he is using increasing/decreasing sized slabs in order to create a staircase. It's a great method if you want a slow incline. Of course the game isn't built for walking up short ledges so I believe you can't actually walk up it.

The problem with that is there is no way to go from a slab up to a full block. Sure you can step down but you will still have square edges if you need to step up. The full block wedge performs both functions.

Slab versions of blocks compress the texture, this is why not all blocks will get slabs. If they texture looks bad compressed they won't have a slab version.

Aim for the meaty bits, it helps. I was turned off dog fighting for a while until I started doing it more than one on one. I load in 4 more of my own ships as AI and 5 Isanths. Despite being inferior in size my fighter group usually comes out on top.

I can't wait for the trade-guild and pirates to be flying their own different ships!

This isn't even all the possibilities. These are the most basic ones, which ones would you want/need? Slab size to Nil, Slab size to full block, slab size to one step smaller, slab size to one step larger, slab to slab.

Hmmmm, this isn't even all the possibilities.

Makes sense in the real world? Yeah. Does it make sense gameplay mechanics wise? No. If wedges were in fact weaker this would greatly encourage boxy shapes and directly punish any designs built at 45 degrees.

If you got two wedges for every hull block they would have to be made less effective and have 50% health otherwise you could cover your ship with cheaper to produce blocks that are just as effective as the full block. It's all in the name of balance, you don't have to worry about weak points in...
