Some Construction GUI QOL Requests
Yes yes, another one of these threads.
1) Add toggle for the ship docking envelopes, or at the very least be not selectable. For example the hexa pier really prevents you from selecting anything behind the envelopes.
2) To place modules via toggled plot center snap points so that we can ensure symmetric builds are centered in the plot. I can never get a plot perfectly centered to minimize the plot size. An alternative is to get an orthogonal (non-perspective) view option to make it easier to center stations (might be easier than snap points). Being able to use the arrow keys to shift the station would also be useful.
3) Add back the estimated cost for construction before accepting changes. Really needed for existing stations in the early game where money is tight and you have to remove modules for the upgrade. If it's too expensive, your existing modules deconstruct and have a broken station + no money .
4) Add the default construction trade option with the rest of the default lists on the player tab. There is no way to define default construction trade behaviors for the player's faction from what I can see.

Re: Some Construction GUI QOL Requests
Id also like...
1. Default loadout is set to no turret/shield loadouts.
2. Allow my construction ship to take NPC jobs.
3. Ability to fire NPC builder ships without having to mess with station stuff, like available cash or deconstructing parts.

Re: Some Construction GUI QOL Requests
For your first point, I think if you set the default loadout to "custom" before placing modules, it comes up empty

Re: Some Construction GUI QOL Requests
in addition to center snap i would like axis lock for movement. and for it to show the position of the currently selected module preferably with the ability to manually enter position and rotation values.Duncaroos wrote: ↑Wed, 5. May 21, 15:47Yes yes, another one of these threads.

Also add at the bottom left the selected mission details for those of us building stations for the AI
Is annoying to have every time to swift between forms to find what we need to built

Re: Some Construction GUI QOL Requests
Default seems to be a crapshoot. I know most times its empty, then sometimes I wonder why it needs Terran parts even though there is no Terran modules.
As for point 2 I have no idea how it works, doesn't Find Build Tasks behavior does that? I just have no idea how NPCs pick what they want to use.
For point 3 also allow us to remove our own builders too for that matter, while it generally won't matter should as well throw in that option while they're at it.

The first point is a crap shoot... that is my issue. I would like it not to be a crap shoot.Raptor34 wrote: ↑Wed, 5. May 21, 21:27Default seems to be a crapshoot. I know most times its empty, then sometimes I wonder why it needs Terran parts even though there is no Terran modules.

Ive had my builders set to find build tasks for days sometimes, and they just float from sector to sector not doing anything... until i put em to work. If there is one locally that has enough build drones, ill use it instead of dragging my own from 15 sectors away.

Re: Some Construction GUI QOL Requests
If you "complete" the station by removing what hasn't been built, it will finish and leave. Then you rebuild it and hire someone new.rudi_pioneer wrote: ↑Wed, 5. May 21, 21:50All suggestions here would be great!
Wait, is there hacky way to "fire" NPC builder ship? How? I could use that in some cases
