KOLT Command Consoles - Content Suggestions
Although there's already a decent variety of blocks in this pack, there's still room for growth. If there's a block you would like to see, or a functionality you feel should be introduced, please place them here! I will do research and find the best implementations for possible future updates.

Centered consoles, Consoles that don't have a seat make a standing helm, hologram consoles, basically hud/ display without border and when there's no power to ship they turn off or they have option to turn off. Diagonal Consoles.

Ah, I'll say it here: the science console from Red Dwarf III-V. Only decent still I can find: https://reddwarf.co.uk/features/history/evolution-of-the-sets/evolution-of-the-sets-3.jpg

how about a kolt style cargo container/access to conveyor system?

Thanks for your suggestions so far. Though I haven't mentioned anything, I have taken some of your ideas into account. However, I don't have room to fit all of them. Here's my current thoughts:

@Prometheus
I won't be changing consoles to all be cockpit blocks for a couple of reasons. For one, it keeps variety at a happy level, the code isn't a mess, and there aren't overwhelmingly many options. The Straight Console will receive some treatment and that will be it for the current consoles. Future consoles though...I won't spoil much. Diagonal Consoles are on the way, and hud/displays are possible with the HUD Controller.

@TenTech
I've looked at your idea quite a bit and don't have a good way of implementing it correctly. I like the idea of the centered console; but as you mentioned, there isn't a vanilla way to implement more than one seat in a single cockpit. However, there will be something introduced called the "Corner Console" that you might be interested in making a quad out of!

@CyberWizard
I like the idea, but I'll have to put it to the side for now for two reasons, the first being that I have a few other projects on hand and won't be able to get around to this one. Secondly, I want to wait to see what type of inventory block Keen will introduce in the next SE update and see if it simplifies some code for me to mess with.

I like building ww2 style ships and i think having older style consoles would be cool

Passenger seat variants of the corner and straight would be nice. From what I've read tho it sounds like that's beyond what your willing to do. I just want a bridge that looks like a proper bridge and to be able to toss up my LCD related stuff on em:steamhappy:

@theweirdlemon
WW2 ships is an interesting style! I try to make the consoles look as retro as possible, but I think what makes them so unique is that there is not a single tactile button on any of them, only screens. I'll consider and do some research, but I can't promise anything.

@Sentient_Worm
I haven't thought of the passenger seat concept yet. The Console Straight has a seat variant now; you can check the change notes section to see it. The Corner, Diagonal, Curve Long, and Curve Short Consoles will not have cockpit variants because they don't face forward. I'll think about the passenger seat code like with the corner desk, but as of right now I don't think you can use the toolbar in a passenger seat. I don't think it'd be of practical use...

Can you please add the <TargetLockingEnabled>true</TargetLockingEnabled> flag?
THE FORCE 10 Jul, 2023 @ 1:44am 
Can you please make a replace version?

Captains seat, raised slightly higher than others with the controls on the side and can pilot the ship
Prometheus 29 Jul, 2023 @ 8:59am 
captains desk and desk in general, more flat so you can see across, also bigger hologram console table,

@Squidtank
Will be released in the next update. Coming soon(ish)

@THE FORCE
I won't do that for up keeping reasons; the code was jumbled and broken so I fixed it. With that came changing a lot of block ids and therefore the pack is no longer compatible with it's former versions.

@Prometheus
Hats off to you good sir for your amazing ideas. I love the captain chair concept and will try some things before I release a final version in the next update. Hologram consoles are also coming. I don't know when it will happen, but the next update will be the largest and last primary update for a while as I sort out life ahead.

i was using the normal command console for a recipionist deck however its too tall, the flat console works however theres no chair and there no diagonal flat console.
Prometheus 20 Oct, 2023 @ 9:42pm 
angled variants of ceiling displays and if possible to make "console Hanging" be a cockpit as well so its like a helm but cooler, also if possible color change option or another mod to make blueish hue other colors to be able to separate factions easier, keep up the good work.

i found the cockpit version of the hanging display odd it isn't with other other cockpit blocks
