    BlockType=3

    • 3 indiviual faces: It should be possible to make a ground-plate for the case you are looking from top.
    • 2 disables the ground-plate.
    • 1 let it turn itself to the player's viewpoint. (you don't look into an edge - you always see the whole face - though maybe scaled)

      This would allow awesome animations too (camp fire, lightening between reactor blocks, etc)



    For orientation-less, may it be possible to enable one block using one of 6 or many configured sprites depending on orientation setting?

    • Alphanumeric, partially tranparent to fit all hull types :)



    I don't know the engine - this is just a proposal, not an announcement :)
