    Community Content needs a template category. We are getting build mode templates with the next update, which is pretty much what people are already doing: They are uploading palettes of prebuilt parts that people can easily paste on their ships.

    It's worth looking into this: http://starmadedock.net/threads/conventions.2956/#post-44073

    Suggested categories there:
    "Char" for alphabets (by @der_scheme)
    "Alphabet Name"
    "Char Name"
    "Size" + "Italic, Bold, ..."​
    "Logic" sub-categories (by @NeonSturm):
    * "Elements" (XOR, XNOR, ODD, EVEN)
    "Functions" which process 2+ parallel bits. (AB)+(CD)=>G(EF)
    "Modules" which have a "private" Internal part and an Interface to use it.
    "Wrappers" containing (de)multiplexers and bit-shifts (1 input = 1 output)
    "Interfaces" Can contain Functions, Wrappers and Elements, but have to contain display blocks explaining themselves
    Manages stuff behind it so you don't need to access this directly (but onlike Modules are not requiring it to be a private area)​
    * "Interactive" Block user interface (password fields, exclusive alert-light-color switches...)

    "XOR, EVEN, ODD, ..."
    "box-dim"
    "Name" + "Variant"​

    * "Decoratives"
    chair, or too small?
    table
    trees​
    * "Functional"
    power crosses which manage to have many lines crossing each other without touching each other.
    external weapons covered in hull
    ...​

    * newly added in this post
