    It would be really nice to be able to save a description of the ship/turret/station in conjunction with the blueprint. That way we could record, size, stats, and a brief purpose of the blueprint. This would be particularly useful for turrets as we could record the dimensions of the docking area required.

    Does the description saved when using a station not go with the sment file?

    No descriptions currently do not save. So the next time you reset your universe Criss all those hard written descriptions will disappear.

    Starlaunch met this issue a bit with a .txt file

    A simple details.txt in the folder would suffice, this is how starlaunch does it. Wouldn't need a change to the .sment format as it is simply a zip archive with the BP's folder in it.

    That would be worse for sharing/uploading.

    The best thing would be to have a format that shows in-game the same (or similar) as in community content with change-log and all that.

    The format could store a link to the community content and have a "more-details" button...

    why would it be worse? All it has to do is when you edit the ingame description is save a copy too the blueprint folder.
