Part Assembly

[Curithwin]

What I think would be good is the ability to create vessels in parts and then as you join them together with a new(ish) block (Possibly the parts core that would become a block on joining) type they become part of the main ship.

Why? It is a pain trying to do some work on areas that are not lit, also it would allow factions to work on larger projects in the safety of their bases protected hangers.

This would be cool, maybe it could just be an entity that could be \"welded\" to other pieces.

But docking modules do this already, there are several people that have built \"moddable\" ships like this, consisting of multiple parts, even though it\'s generally a crappy method since you can\'t entirely specify how it should dock.

But that would require a ton of cores and unless you had a ship the move them, they would all need power and thrusters.

That is why people create tugs to move them. and docking items can be knocked off with weapon fire. Also it\'ll not be as good when the docked item ADDS its weight to the ship carrying it, as at present it does not.
