LoD blocks ideas

[BDLS]

Post any you might think are cool.

Here's a few ideas:

• Fasteners - Like allen heads, hex bolts, and/or rivets.
  
• Weld lines - A metallic seam that resembles a weld.
• Chain link - Standard fence.
  
• Ship view port - Round glass port with metal frame.

The one I'd think would be the coolest:

• Steel cables - You would need to place at least 2 "cable anchor" type blocks. Then you can bind them to each other. They would create a non-touchable cable visual between the anchors (just like a logic pipe), not animated, but same idea.

1. Slab with rounded edge (great for furniture)
2. Half-length slab with rounded edge (great for furniture)
3. mid-block slab (1/4 away from one edge, and 1/2 block away from the other.)
4. Keypad-shaped activation block
5. Helmet (probably should be activate-able like a door to disappear, to simulate picking it up, and should activate logic when activated.)
   
6. Ultra-thin, mostly-transparent door block. (Hull strength and minimal weight. Basically, a glass storm door; used often in airlock areas to hold space suits and such.)
7. Space Suit Pants (probably should be activate-able like a door to disappear; see Helmet)
8. Space Suit Jacket (As above)
9. Ultra-thin, opaque door block. (Hull strength)
10. More control panels. (Activate-able variations, multiple colors)
11. Rack (similar to a storage block, but does not link to cargo blocks; to simulate a simple rack that holds stuff.)
12. Small, thin light bar (Multiple colors; maybe can be turned off to simulate things like weld lines.)
    
13. Pistols, Rifles, Swords, etc. (decoration; see Helmet for activation ideas)
14. Parallel Crystals

1. A tablet you could slap on walls, floors, etc like a light bar. Could be a LOD model for the empty blueprint block that currently only has a placeholder texture.

2. A classic-loudspeaker-shaped speaker. Good for decorating large factory rooms and-the-like by mounting on the walls.

Whoa Whoa Whoa, Don't you think that this might be too much stuff, I definitely think that some of these things should be implemented, but Whoa. Slow down

Sorry mate we'll stop brainstorming ideas for the game in the suggestions forum. Thanks for the great post!

Your ideas are fine, just others need to slow a bit, Its near impossible to have a thoughtful discussion on 47 ideas at once. You and Kiddan have the right idea
