Shipyards more functions suggestion.

[Gmodism]

The shipyards are cool, and even more so when they work better than spawning from blueprint, however there are nanny things that would make them much cooler and more useful.
-Add recolour options, where you can recolour the whole ship by just selecting a colour and replace it bu a new colour, simply by adding the required capsules, not new blocks. And the ability to repaint by hand, using colour, that would feel very realistic.
-Add effects so that the shipyard sounds and shows it is working clearly.
-Add mass produce commands like in Real-time strategy games, ex: make 10 GI_Pinhead fighters and move them to sector 2,2,2 / line them up outside factory.

I'll agree with the build queue. Would make it much easier to build drones without having to build racks too.

-Add block replace using a block list. Handy for swapping out weapons.
-Add block delete. Handy if you want to remove particular block types for a quick build with less base materials.
-Deploy on incomplete build.
-Build the ship structure/system based. E.g. Exterior/Frame, Power, Thrust, Weapons.
-Build the ship user preference based. Ship build according to players order of preference. Some may wish for systems first, others hull etc.
