But we all want a simple mode for the new designer which is similar to the old one and makes things less painful to do
Indeed, I've posted this before. It doesn't need to be the same as the old designer, but just something like this:
- Ability to draw rooms directly with predefined voids and pathing depending on the room shape.
- Ability to place doors/hatches/ladders/turbolifts (with automatic/predefined voids, pathing, opend/closed states), which would automatically connect two rooms or a room and the outside.
- Ability to place premade turrets and move them around much easier.
You could still "micro"-edit rooms like u can now, change the shape of doors and make special geometry for each room if you wish to. But the cool thing would be that you wouldn't have to do it.
Currently I don't mind creating the hull for a new ship, but knowing that I have to do the interior aswell, means I just don't feel like designing any of the larger ships or space stations i had i mind. I mean I think I spend about 50 to 100 hours per ship in the new designer, whereas in the old desinger my most complex ships were done in under 5 hours iirc (including changing/redesigning).
