The current build mode option of replacing a block with another block is great, and very handy.
However, it doesn't quite make it easy to say change the color of a hull. If properly wedged, you're looking at four or 5 different types of blocks, which means 4-5 different passes on the replace tool, which could itself be a fairly long process based on the size of the ship and the upper limits of the advanced build dimensions that the server has in place.
Would it be possible to have an option for Replace With Current Stack?
So that if you are replacing hull blocks, it would check the entire stack of available hull blocks you have selected and pick the appropriate block on the fly? So if you had a wedged red hull and you wanted to make it green, you could just say "Replace Red Standard with current slot", and as long as you had the green hull shapes that matched what you were replacing, you could do the whole thing in one pass?
Replace wedges, heptas, cubes, everything with a single click instead of having to specifically stop and match them up every time.
