[Feature Request] Bring back the Projector Block for Space Engineers 2

Hi Keen team and fellow Engineers,

With the upcoming advancements in VRAGE3 and the new systems in Space Engineers 2, I would love to see the return of a dedicated Projector Block (or an equivalent blueprint projection system).

In SE1, the Projector was an essential tool for:

  • Shipbuilding & Repair: Repairing damaged grids directly from a saved blueprint.
  • Survival Gameplay: Automating construction via ship/station printers.
  • Visual Guides: Displaying 3D schematics or decorative holograms.

While SE2 introduces new physics, grid mechanics, and building paradigms, having a reliable way to project 3D blueprints in-world remains crucial for complex Survival gameplay and automated shipyards.

Key features/improvements I'd love to see for SE2's Projector:

  • Better alignment tools (easier visual feedback when aligning projection to grid).
  • Multi-grid blueprint support natively integrated.
  • Clearer visual representation of missing/damaged blocks.

What do you all think? How would you like to see blueprint projection evolved in SE2?

This is essential for repairs. The projection building system is cool but as soon as I get some parts blown off my fighters I need to try and remember how everything went. The only alternative I can think of is to grind them down and build a new one with the blueprint, but that's super inefficient when it's just a few thrusters/conveyors that are missing.
