New Designer/Ship animated elements - danthemanisme95 - 03-17-2022

A few additions to the ship/designer for creativity would be nice 
  • Animated weapon openings for when a ships weapons are powered on (these could be exactly like landing gear from a designer perspective) that would animate to their open/powered on/ deployed state. 
  • Animated FTL bits these could function by moving through a a set of key frames at a fixed rate whenever the drive is active. This could work in tandem with the Wormhole texture or even replace it making for some really neat "Warp Cores" or other engine room furniture 
  • Shield emitter work as a combination of both the weapons and the FTL with a deploying animation set and an on set 
All of these animated elements could have a fixed volume and poly count limit as a way of restricting their complexity

This would be very cool to have. While not a technical priority, it would add some movement to otherwise generally static ships.
