so watching the design options i feel like there is another 2 options of creativity that the game can expand 2

to demonstate see the following.

609201d3bbe5d1aa22f69ea611acfbaf

this cube is a ship and the red dot is the center of the cube

at the moment we can only set our direction in 1 way.

this is forward.

we can rotate the seat to make it go left or right, backwards, or up/down.

but what if there were more options??

in this example we tiult the seat 45 degrees back.

i feel liek the angled layout changes how we design our ships.

you can alsow rotate 45 degrees to the left or right

or even go as crazy to turn the seat towards a point

the diea came from cosmoteer where you can fly your ship in 45 degree angles

i do think this change will add another 2 levels of ship designs

I don't get what you mean by we can only go in one direction, you know that most people put thruster in all 6 direction and from one seat you can maneuver in each direction or a component of 2 direction withouth have to angle your seat.

Can you explain more what you mean by "at the moment we can only set our direction in 1 way."

Currently the forward direction of a ship cannot be set in any other way than where the seat is facing.

Would be cool to be able to set the forward direction of the ship diagonally.

This would change what thrusters are activated by the direction keys.

It would allow us to build ships diagonally.

aaahhhh ok, I see what you mean now

but in your picture you can just push W+space and you go in the direction you wanted and you can angle the ship with gyro to be in the way it is on your picture.

I see what your request is, I just think that as long as we have way to do the things we want without using mods or script I don't see keen adding new functionality, this game is called space engineer, and you can determine a good engineer by is ability to think outside the box to go around the problem to determine a new solution.
