    I think that there should be a grate1 block that is used for decoration. It would be usefull in starship hangers and because it would be semi-transparent, it could be used to make catwalks and overhangs.

    This would be so cool! And it wouldn\'t be a nightmare to implement either.

    It would not even be that hard to make, just copy the plexglass block and retexture it.

    Each block,wedge,corner, etc needs just a texture.

    Like the top left in your t000.png texture file

    Each type needs a picture in the build pics (image-ressources)

    It needs a custom block config (copy+paste basic hull, basic hull corner and wedge,...)

    Then present your work and ask if you forgot something.

    Can we not have transparent Plex-Lights in the default packs?

    It would be good for colored windows and light at the same time and not hurt cross-server compatibility as much as other changes (on existing ships) while not adding more new blocks.

    For those who want just light, they could use a wall behind, lava, ice-crystal or wand lamps.



    Wand lamp: Walk-through like plants (grass, not a cactus), emmit light and placeable on other blocks. They could look like the other block has a light pannel in it\'s center.



    Can we make interior-hulls which emmit also light on themselves, but not too much other blocks?

    So that they be always visible, even in rooms with no dedicated light. It would be a nice workaround for the low range of non-dynamic lights (like a torch)

    We should have this.



    Nevermind catwalks, you could use it as additional armoring on your windows ^^

    Grates will be added to the Immersive Blocks mod sometime soon.
