This sums up pretty much every issue I have with ship construction as it is currently.

Sven_The_Slayer ...So no, this isn't a stopgap measure.

Malacodor : Meh. Still can limit creativity. What if someone finds a good reason to put a computer screen or medical box thing on the outside of a ship where they can't put hull under it? Sure, it's unlikely, but it's still a possibility. I'd be fine if this was just for the sprite blocks...

Hoooooly crap, Poulpy... That is awesome.

Hmm, then the block editor needs to be fixed soon. That's too good a feature to just leave broken like that...

True... But honestly I prefer the tab separation, as it helps me concentrate on either chat or posting specifically.

I still believe we should have instanced planets... MASSIVE, possibly infinite, instanced planets. The exit point could be calculated using some kind of square to sphere map thing (Map is divided into massive squares, identical coordinates on each square will put you in the same point outside...

Not to derail the thread here, but how does IRC suck? It isn't particularly awesome, sure, but apart from the occasional disconnecr , I find it to be a lot better than the old chat thing, which was too small for its own good, and was a bit glitchy for me.

Yes, but then you get ridiculous I looking random damage on ships in shuttlebays and whatnot. There needs to be a better solution in general. :\

Yeah, I thought you meant something like Star Trek exploding consoles, but this is a great idea XD

Ever heard of "3rd-party tools aren't an excuse"? ...Either way, yeah, there should be a proper menu and options screen rather than a weird, disorganized second launcher thing.

I was thinking of externals, but come to think of it, I would want my interior decorative to have a bit of armor too, for the same reason that I build my interior walls with hardened hull... (I'm sometimes a heavy grille and mesh user too, so...)

Vulcan D'kyr class Cruiser, from ST: Enterprise, which ironically enough I had never watched, I had just seen the ship on Memory Alpha and loved it. I built the original Aethi runabout, the Karas-Tlen class, after its design, but ended up never scaling it up... And when I gave up on the...

My problems with planets are mostly either with their performance or with things that result from their performance (Namely, the fact that they're SO TINY). They take way too long to load, their segments are too small to hold a city by default, and if they are set to a reasonably large size, the...

Yes, yes, did already, yes, and yay for free points. 5/5, 10/10, whatever. Though that score might drop a bit unless there start being, y'know, actual things to do in the game besides build larger ships than what I have and hope that I'll still be able to use them in the future and won't have...

Nope. Better solution: give decoration blocks the same stats as regular hull. Otherwise people kinda have to use double layers everywhere they want to use decorative blocks if they want armor :/ (This should be true of all terrain and mineral blocks as well, including crystals, for the same and...

Umm, I would hope that no actual volumetric rendering would be involved in these (Yikes!)... They would just be part billboarded textures from outside, and skyboxes/filtersphere things from within.
