Hey Everybody, i have an request you see i just finished my first shipyard and then i build my first ship, check the top center of the attached picture... Thats a mistake on my side but have any of you ever had the same problem?? Is there a possibility that we can give full flight control to the "Camera Module" even when the "Core" direction is diffrent from the "Camera Module" direction or maybe have the option to manually change the direction of the "Core" after blocks have been placed, that would fix my problem and maybe yours too one day.

Unfortunately you can't change the direction controls with a camera.
But you might be able to copy and paste the ship around using the advanced build options. If this is in single player then you can set how big the build box is in the server settings. As long as the copy isn't to complex you might even get away with a 100 or greater build box. If it is to much for your pc then the game will freeze. It might take some time for the copy to be calculated so don't CTRL ALT DELETE out strait away if the screen freezes.

The copy paste does work, but you might need to adjust your build area in the config. Like Batavium said, it can take some time for the PC to write all the paste in. I will verify as I built my latest project in the wrong direction and had to cut it out and paste it on in the other direction. I pasted in a section 60x80x100 and it took about 20 minutes of locked up before it pasted in.
Edit: The lesson here is to ALWAYS watch the build direction, it can bite you on the rear if you don't. I know your pain.

Well the problem with that is ships and everything else currently store their blocks in relation to the core. So its basically storing it as "Grey Hull, 3 in front of the core, 1 above the core, 6 to the left of the core" for every single block in the ship. For big ships, changing just the facing of the core means basically redoing the ENTIRE file for the ship. If you've ever seen the game nearly crash due to spawning in a large ship via blueprint, the same thing would be happening when you change the core facing.
Worse actually, because it would have to basically recalculate the entire ship, despawn the ship, then respawn it all back.

It has been mentioned in the past that the way around this would be to limit the number of blocks that render at one time.
I don't think anyone will mind waiting a minute for some massive ship to spawn in (or a template of significant size) if it meant that it would actually do so without crashing the server or locking anyone's computer up.

Seems like something to do out side the game. Maybe an option for the ships catalog. You add an align block in game to where you want the core to face. Then you reblueprint and feed that print to the ships catalog. It then creates a new blueprint with the changed core.
