Hello,
The "recent" build helpers are really nice, unfortunately, most computers can't handle them when they're big. On top of that, there is no way (correct me if I'm wrong) to fill ellipses as it is possible with circles (restricted build) : to have ellipses, one needs to create an ellipsoid and then fill a part of it. Then we have two options :
- Minimize the surface and only build a flat ellipsoid, but then we've to fill the whole build helper then remove most of the blocks you placed.
- Use a 3 blocks wide ellipsoid so we don't need to dig afterwards, but in this case we cannot do big ellipses until our computer dies/starmade crashes.
An option that allows us to build nice ellipses might be really useful since ships with curves are hell to build.
Thank you for reading !
PS : Such an option might replace the current "circle" option, since you can build a circle with ellipse of equal radiuses.
