Blocks, improvements and changes (Bug report too)

Space engineers is being really addicting for me for a while now, i'm already passing hundreds of hours, i love this game and developers are doing a great job but as any game, especially in early access, has its flaws and we can only do the best to provide constructive feedback to help sculpting it to an even greater product because- honestly, i hope i never get bored of it and this is why we need these changes, tweaks and new blocks which i'm about to talk about below.

I often find it hard to fit those huge, cylindrical hydrogen tanks and making it look good as well, especially if i want to do something more slim, more modern, speaking of which, we need universal thrusters, make them resource expensive, i'm sure we'll be fine with that, we need those sort of sci-fi engines that look really appealing, that are really powerful and we need aerodynamics in atmosphere, maybe wing blocks that can be added continuously from edge to edge like solar panels for example so we wouldn't have to put tons of thrusters on every single heading on something that we want to be a plane or a jet or something, because that can get sort of ugly and bulky for what someone tries to do. I also find the energy and fuel consumption a bit too irritating, we need faster recharging or less consumption or even both. I would also love to see a total battery percentage for the specific grid in the HUD, just like the phone battery percentage besides the time left before the batteries run out at the current usage instead of having to check each battery or being paranoid of the "2 minutes-10 days remaining" constantly worrying you, OR if you're afraid of game balance, we can have a survival resource difficulty, like normal/realistic difficulty where in normal, for example the thrusters are more powerful and less worrying to manage, things charge faster and so on, while in realistic difficulty, it would be what it currently is, if not even tweaked a bit.

For tools, i would love to be able to have a paint gun that is not a mod, maybe someday we'd also be able to paint just each surface of a block if possible so for example the interior wouldn't be a dirty surface like only the exterior is intended to be. We should also be able to change the lights colors by aiming at them, because it's often very difficult to find out which one of the 100 lights in the control panel is the light that you want to change the color of, or at least make it so when we changed the name of a block in control panel, we can see the name of it when we aim with the welder at the blocks instead of being "corner light" for example.

As for bugs, i have encountered flashlight bugs where i had to "turn it off and on again" a couple of times, there has been this unresponsive thrusters bug where i had to restart the whole server for them to suddenly work again. The AI can also get stuck, maybe there can be something figured out so they try different directions when they detect that they're not moving anymore.

But that's about it, thank you for listening and i hope at least some of these stuck with you!
