Micro hinges, rotors and pistons
Under Consideration
With the advent of the UGS (Unified Grid System) we have far greater freedom for creativity available to us.
What I would most like to see is hinges, rotors and pistons in the smallest sizes. Obviously they would be too small to transfer anything beyond perhaps gasses, but they would allow us to make custom doors, hatches, access ways, hidden compartments etc.
The current small grid blocks are good but still too large to be practical in most situations, they are too evident for the scale.

I'm sure something of this sort will come in time - but have my vote anyway because it's important to have mechanics in a game about engineering

This would also solve one of my bigges problems in SE1: The ugly huge landing legs. Almost every aircraft can retract their landing gear but building this in SE1 was just way too huge for most of my ships. With small hinges and rotors, I could fit them to smaller ships so I finally can have more fancy bottom sides.

The only problem I would have is inconsistent axis of rotation, essentially with these micro joints I wouldnt want the axis around which they rotate to be 12.5cm offsets from the grid (ie inside a 25cm block) as it wouldnt scale well with larger joint sizes

Can we have various length and diameter pistons?
