1x1 LCD for small ship
It would be nice to have a 1x1 LCD for small ships. I haven't seen any mods with that, and the default LCD screen that's 1x1 on big ships/stations is the same size on small ships (aka 3x3). I mean, if anyone wants to mod it, I'd be really happy, I just don't have that kind of technical know-how or patience ;)

Like Chris says, it's LCDs I was looking for, as the "cool" factor of having a dashboard in my small ship. While the text screens are awesome (is that a program you wrote that displays the details???), it's not what I was looking for.

Mind you the "Slanted LCD" mod do create small LCDs, I found that out after posting this. It's sufficient for my needs.

you can find a lot of scrips that wil display certain things.

i have only tried a few scrips, but so far, i thoroughly enjoy

after you set up your basic timer 1 sec, run program, start timer,

just name your lcds (or tex panels) as the following [LCD]

then anything you put in the public/private text will make different things show up on the lcds.

The text panels function in exactly the same way as LCDs, and has since LCDs were released. The only problem I can possibly fathom is occuring here is that the text panels are not boarderless.

A large ship block is equivilent to a 5x5x5 cube of small ship blocks.
(Small ship blocks are 0.5m, large ship blocks are 2.5m.)

I think we should get rid of the difference between large and small ships and be able to build a ship with both size blocks on it. We could make much cooler and more efficient ships that way. For stations too

true, they do have mods for all of this, i was just pointing out that what the OP had stated, is already in game. maybe not perfectly, as text panels have borders, and because of there shap cant be placed everywhere (on large ships mostly) but they do exist in game already.
