Blueprint stats

[Zandy man]

Say I am building a ship and I have blueprints from the workshop or where ever, The only way to see the stats or how they are different from your is by building that ship but you cant do that if you dont have the mats or money.

I would like a way where we can right click the image and click Stats and it would pop out a window that has that right side list just the list of that ship blueprint, so that we can see if we even want to spend that much money or mats to make that ship.

I have found that 90% of the ships in the workshop are all looks, like ya they are awesome to look at but the ship is garbage, cant move, cant generate, cant turn, cant do anything.

Not that I don’t like your suggestion, but you can build them to see the stats if you go into Creative mode

I wouldn't mind seeing the stats on a ship when you look at the template. I typically reuse old designs I made throughout playing when I need to make a miner or salvage ship or the like. Often I don't really remember what the old design was for so having some way to see like that would be handy to have.

Just a thought... I know a lot of ships on the workshop use the "framework" blocks as a placeholder so you can add the parts you want in that place. Try using the visibility (eye icon) tool in build mode and filtering for framework blocks. If there are a bunch of them throughout the inside of the ship just select the type of block you want to replace it with and then hold ALT and click on it to transform that framework into the block you picked.

Sorry, probably should've used better wording.
