Essentially, this would only render blocks with a linkable function (weapons, effects, logic including display blocks), and other blocks would neither show nor get in the way. In this mode, only C-V-able blocks can be placed and only if their intended location is not yet occupied.
This would make it easier to edit logic and displays on a large entity without searching for it in buildmode and having to excavate the logic from a shield blob, and it would be much easier to rearrange C-V connections or refit ships.
