Hello everyone, Figured I’d ask here 'cause I’m getting the problem that got me to quit my previous world again: When I’ve got a sufficiently large build I want to make I can’t clearly envision how I want to assemble it. To take the current example: I’ve just finished building my Miner Mk2 after redesigning it (lost my BPs when I upgraded my PC) and I can already see that while leagues better than the Mk1 it will be insufficient for the big projects I want to do… so I’ve begun work designing it’s replacement. Thing is the replacement is a Large Grid mining vessel with a special mining bore-arm that I’d designed separately and special connector-arm to be able to transfer material to my ground-base. I’ve got those two elements but I can see several ways to set up the internals and I’m not sure which one to go with… or how I’d want to stylize the Hull since I couldn’t exactly fly a LG brick.

Anyone else get this problem? Should I design the hull first and then fit the functional bits inside it?

    I personally tend towards building the functional parts in roughly the shape I want, then build the hull around it after confirming everything works.
