Kolt - Command Console Pack
Small ship compatibility
I said this a while back, but I'd like to draw more attention to the idea (not trying to be pushy, it's just something that would be much appreciated). These consoles are wonderful, but compatibility with small blocks would be extremely useful for those ship designs that utilise small blocks but are big enough to feature their own bridge, as opposed to a cockpit. Is there any chance of this happening?

This. Gimmie.
I kind of wish small ship designs would get a little more love in general with mod assets like this - almost everything seems to be large-block-only, which is a dayum shame. There's a lot of great
stuff with this unfortunate restriction.

I too would love it if these blocks could be used on small ships.

I think the problem is that Small Ships are by design small and a lot of people might think that means they have to be fighters. However there is no such restriction.

I'm currently trying to build a large pirate ship out of Small Ship blocks only. It gives a lot more control over what you are building as well as detail to the build. I realise that past some point I'll probably start having FPS problems but I don't plan to go over the top in size. It already has a hangar with 5 small block thick walls that can contain up to 9 basic fighters (from the "Easy Start" maps) and no problems yet.

I have a fairly decent machine so I can do this kind of thing which is why I usually prefer working out of Small Ship blocks however I keep running into these great mods that are limited to large ship only. I actually tried to modify this mod to allow for small ship building but it didn't work.
I downloaded the mod separately (so I'd stay subbed incase the feature was officially implemented) and modified the CubeBlocks.sbc so that all blocks were Small Ship blocks, changed the size and offset so it'd fit the models more closely ingame but once ingame when everything looked fine and I tried to place them I kept getting the sound from when you can't place there (even though the bounding box was green).
So Idk what I missed but I'd really love this for small ships.

I think there is a mod where you can use large ship compatible blocks on small ships.

That mod only changes vanilla block compatibility.

Awwww, yisss. Thanks, I understand DX11 conversion probably only made things more awkward, this is very appreciated.
