Make ship editor look like spacedock rather then just space!

I just had an idea about the ship editor. Instead of just a blank space looking thing behind the ship, it should be one of the dock/cage things floating around ESD. You could maybe even see Mars in the background (Utopia Planitia). Also, there should be work shuttles flying around like in ST:TMP when they go to see the ship.


What do you guys think?

    Blank space lets you, as you edit and customize, see your entire ship. Putting it in dock could obscure what you see and that makes it harder to customize.

    Well the way they would have to design it, would have to make it so it was'nt blocked.

    I'd rather see LCARS controls for rotating the ship around and relevant data being displayed in like manner...kind of like the MSD we see on the bridge of a starship. Here is a link:

    That image is a collage of MSD and LCARS.

    Now, when I say "kind of like" what I mean is we'd see and LCARS output of our ship specs as we're modding it out and not necessarily a schematic of the ship's insides...because that would be too "busy" and interfere with the viewing of the ship, like Chum-Chum said ;)

    That could be interesting. However it could be really really cool if you could toggle on a 3D scehmatic of the interior like that.
