A suggested addition to the Rail-system: Magnetic Levitation Rail (Mag-Lev).
The purpose is to facilitate rapid transportation of astronauts, entities and possibly cargo. The Mag-Lev would be like Rail-Basic with one limitation; turrets and ships are along for the ride and remain inactive while travelling on Mag-Lev. The Mag-Lev rails would be able to connect with other Rail-blocks as part of an integrated network or could be used independently to make possible:
1) Ped-ways for astronauts, conveyors for cargo or trams (including roller-coasters).
2) Cool animated elements on ships & bases.
3) Elevators and funiculars. (wedges would be needed).
4) Large scrolling reader-boards.
5) Tram-tours around large ships and bases.
Each group of Mag-Lev rail would default to the top-speed but have a slider for dampening to create a speed-zone on that section of rail. Would work with new collection and shoot-out rails as well.
*6) Would Mag-Lev on the under-side of a ship be a way to avoid collisions with the ground and replace the need for wheels? ( Ground-Effect-Car---Speeder)
P.S. ( I had a previous idea for a Slide-Rail & Hinge block. )
