The simple truth is, without attachment plates, ship design becomes limited to pre-determined shapes only. Which building outside that limitation is what make starbase appealing over other space building games. Instead of unique ships, like now, we will only see slight variations of the same ship and shapes. This basically turns starbase into a more inferior and limited space engineers and empyrion.

Really if FB wants to remove attachment plates without spending effort to balance them.

Then provide us:
-less strict beam/plate model collision. so these objects can be placed inside each other to a much greater degree
-improved welding with additional angles or welds that can be placed like "bolts"
-fully adjustable 3d objects. able to adjust the length, bend, and overall size of beams and plates.

Do you really want to take away more creativity just before ea? Many changes to the game in ca have already reduced and limited creativity. This one just happens to be more obvious. Yet FB seems to not realize how significant of a negative impact against fun and gameplay this is somehow... Just call it a build nerf like it is.

Seems like a good idea to post this here. I'm sure a feature like this would be relevant for what FB wants

Did we ever get a statement on why attplates had to be removed without their replacement being implemented at all?

Yes, It wasn't Lauri, but one of the other notable devs said that it is on the to do list. It's also not a high priority on that to do list. So it will happen eventually. Hopefully.

the designer was busy with the blueprint update as he was the only designer that does this and that
