Rotary Motor Blocks

[Lokion123]

A block ingame that can attach to certain blocks to spin and possibly create artificial gravity as well so people can create other types of ships?(Including a few working ships from Babylon 5 and custom designs like my mining capital)

I believe that the best way to make this work would be to make them work like turrets - hopefully with the 1/2 block space removed.

Would love to see this in game along with things such as this: http://star-made.org/content/pistons-or-something-similar

I\'ve wanted this for awhile. Imagine cool engine parts and weapons and stuff spining on a ship. It would give the ships a bigger level of animation and activity than what we currently have.



The only issue I see with spinning blocks is the fact that one square cannot rotate inside another square. It would require quite a bit of space to rotate. This could be fixed with docking parameters, I suppose, but it would still be a bit iffy.

Even Space_Engineers have it a bit offset. This is not the only game.



It would be good to implement this together with turret Pitch/Yaw rotors.
