I've only played this game for around 20 hours, but while playing it, it reminded me constantly of myself making minibuild ships in the online game "ROBLOX" only the building system feels to be poorly matched to the nature of Avorion's step-adjustable grid.
I think this game could benefit heavily from having a system similar to the one shown here:
The current build mode just feels weird; a lot of times when I'm trying to place a block and get it sized to the correct size I run into problems with perspective. The problem is that the block is always being forced to move all over the dang place when I move my mouse. I guess what I really want is a non-mouse based system.
It would be a good idea to follow in the steps of From the Depths (by far the best "build your vehicle" sandbox game ever created) and have a building system similar to the current one that appeals to players from games like minecraft and the devil-spawn of "space engineers" but also have an option for a more convenient and capable system that doesn't use the mouse and more properly fits the game.
It could also be that It just feels weird to me because I'm new and I don't know all the tricks, but still I believe that change would be great.
