I like some of the other ideas posted here, like having a reset button. But I have a few more ideas to make crafting easier.
- I would like to see the X Y and Z axes on the screen. I've learned which is which through trial and error, but a small reference would be nice. I'm not sure the global/local distinction needs to be made, but something visual would help.
- It would be nice to be able to copy an existing part--with its scaling and rotation (maybe not translation. Just have it follow the cursor when the operation is called)
- A mirror option would be handy, even if it was just in the global X direction. Most ships will be laterally symmetrical to some extent. It could really cut down crafting time. It could be implemented as a toggle.
- In the transform window, I'd like to be able to click on the number and type the value I want, instead of clicking/dragging or scrolling through all the values.
- A description, of each weapon would be very nice to have. Like a tooltip or something when hovering over it. Guessing isn't always fun.
I like the simplicity of the crafting right now, and I understand if you want to maintain that. But I think these would make the process more efficient.
Thanks!
