Update 25.2.2021 (Alpha 364)
New Features and Major Updates
- Ship decals and Decal Tool to Ship Designer
- All decals are located in the "Decals" folder in Asset Browser
- The Decal Tool can be found from the Toolbox in the Spaceship Designer, and it is also automatically selected whenever you select a decal from the Asset Browser
- When the Decal Tool is active, you are able to select decals with M1 from your ship; use Ctrl + M1 for selecting multiple decals
- You can use mouse wheel to scale the selected decals, and Ctrl + mouse wheel to rotate the selected decals
- You can also press 1 or 2 to select the Move or Rotate Tool in order to move or rotate decals when the Decal Tool is active
- Building budget
- The amount of decals in ships is limited by how many parts they cover
- One large decal extending over ten parts or ten smaller decals each covering one part use an equal amount of the building budget
