Ship design screen - connection points idea.

from GalCiv2 Forums
Could we have a switch to turn the connection points on and off? There are times when I want to see what I have designed and find the connection dots in the way.

It already exists

In the starport screen, on the camera control interface top right, the bottom left button is a black circle. Click that to toggle the connections dots on/off.

It may be nice to have a number (Small) of port types and also I would like plating "bling" as the parts we have at the moment can only make "spikey" ships I would like 3 structurals and 4 ports

structurals = structural parts (general ports)
Hull parts (weapons/engines port )
decorative

Ports Strucural port (only on main hull)
generic (most ports like current ports)
tactical (weapons/engines)
System For scanners pods etc

Do you mean that each hull would only allow you to fit certain modules in certain places? Why would you want to be restricted like that?

What I would like to see are some much chunkier structure add ons, which I think you are talking about in the first part of the post. We have alot of differently shaped fins, not so much that looks like a solid piece of extra hull though.

Great. Didn't notice that before.

There is a scroll bar in the bottom right of the same screen. What is that for? I can't see any affect when I move it.
