Spacecraft Update

This section is in need of revision. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page. The reason given is: Could use more general description of the changes made to spacecraft. Once fully implemented, it would be nice to add a picture of the new designer. |

The "spacecraft update" had been in planning stage for a very long time before the development started 2016-11-07.[1]
The new designer is a simplified 3D modeling environment. The new designs can have almost any shape and look desired. Anything from exterior to interior to furniture is defined purely by the player.
Old Spacecraft Designs
The current plan is to keep the old spacecraft alongside the new spacecraft designs, until the new designs can do everything (and more) than the old designs can.
Old OpenCASCADE Designer Attempt
There was an earlier attempt at a new designer using OpenCASCADE back in 2014.[2] But this was scrapped as it was too complicated to use.[3]
