Yes to all.
I mostly want to build weapons the shape i want tem to be. Slim super long laser, builky massive double-barrel cannon, agile fast turning amti-missiles machine gun, and so on.
I want to be able to adjust shape, color, effect, stats, according to my ships and needs.
Just look at Starmade, or Sky Wanderers, or From the Depth, and for me it seems obvious they do weapons better than Avorion. Avorion basically only needs this and some rotating parts to be as good. And "human sctale" with interior, walking, planets... but well, can't have all. If we "only" have this Freenlancer-Starmade-XUniverse feeling, then it's fine.
