Decals
Add decals!
Decals should come in multiple different sizes (or be resized dynamically on a 0.25 or 0.5 scale) to add extra detail to builds.
Decals should be placed with the paint gun and ideally have its own menu that opens once clicked so they can be categorized into folders (so modded decals don't get overwhelming)
Ideally decals can be placed regardless of the surface, so bumps or angles (e.g it can be placed on a surface comprised of slopes) do not affect placement but I absolutely understand if thats too hard to implement
Additionally their color should be customizable (or tied to current block color)
Some really good ideas for decals would be hazard striping, current faction icon (would change dynamically based on current faction icon), and other such things like hazard symbols, arrows, chevrons, etc.
Basic shapes such as lines and triangles could also be included so detail blocks (which increase PCU and ship complexity) are not needed to make basic paint jobs on ships and could free up PCU for other needs
This could cover a lot of the bases LCD screens and especially transparent LCDs were used for in SE1 and be a lot more performant and versatile than that
Having them capable of being colorizable would be useful too so that we don't need X variations of the same decal for different colors.
