Report on Creative Mode Issues

Dear developers, I would like to draw your attention to several critical issues with the functionality of Creative Mode. The current implementation lacks several important features that were present in Space Engineers 1.

The first issue concerns the teleportation function via the free camera. When using the F8 key to activate observer mode while in the ship’s cockpit, players expect to be able to teleport themselves along with the ship to the location of the F8 camera by pressing Ctrl + Space. However, this functionality currently does not work - although the camera can be moved to any location (for example, to another planet), attempting to teleport a player sitting in the ship’s cockpit results in the ship remaining in its original position along with the player, rendering the combination ineffective for controlled ships in observer mode. That is, while a player outside the cockpit can be moved to the F8 camera, a player sitting in the ship’s cockpit or control chair cannot be moved to the F8 camera. One has to get out of the cockpit, delete the ship to the clipboard, and teleport just the player outside the ship to the desired location, then place the blueprint again. This is very time-consuming and inconvenient for Creative Mode.

The second issue relates to camera position preservation. There is significant inconvenience when switching between F7 and F8 camera modes. Previously, switching from F8 to F7 and back to F8 would move the free camera to the F7 camera position (near the player). Now, after pressing F7 (which places the camera near the player) and then pressing F8, the free camera remains in its previous location instead of staying near the player’s position. That is, it is impossible to switch the F8 camera to the player to examine the area around them. This forces players to manually search for their character on the map using the F8 camera to examine the surrounding area.

The third issue concerns the copy-paste functionality. In the first version of the game (in its Creative Mode, which we are all accustomed to, and this is very important), using the Ctrl + X combination would copy the entire structure along with all ships docked to it via connectors or landing gears. Currently, this behavior has changed - when copying a structure, all docked small ships remain floating in space, and only the main structure is placed into the clipboard. This is extremely inconvenient for Creative Mode when trying to move
