we have this fun toys, and initially, we all went mad for them, then we basically forgot about them, they are not that useful, limited size, and worse, they look pretty ugly...
the idea is to use the "display" as a computer instead, by default, it outputs to itself, but another block can be used as a screen, this block, is invisible. it ALWAYS treats the PLAYER as the FRONT, but the block's rotation
decides where the text actually appears. basically, we can have floating "holographic" displays...
or we can use various other blocks to make better looking, or more appropiate displays to our ships and stations.
by "linking" adjunct blocks together, they become a "single" screen. allowing us to create larger displays,
we increase the "limit" of the display module's text buffer. as time progresses, we add more "tags" the units
can display.
although, i would REALLY request *[Scroll] this message scrolls, yay for all [Rate=Fast][/Scroll]
which would make anything in the body scroll... be good for bulletin boards.
this idea is inspired from a few other posts, it's simply a meshing for a quick fix that i think may do the job well.
