    I love the look of some of the shards and ores we currently have in Starmade, but I was upset to discover that none of them are placeable in-game. These would make fantastic decorative pieces in custom terrains or some bases. I recently tried incorporating them into a ship core setup, but had to fall back on the capsules, which are placeable. I think we should make shards and ores usable in builds.

    They are placeable in capsule form which is basically the same as plain shard/ore form but in a container. Also just placing them as those items would make for some strange models that would require as much or more work to make than the pipe model unless 2d texture crosses were used which wouldn't look too good.

    I've wished for this also.
    Schine would need to create these as blocks or LoD blocks. As they are currently damage textures.
