Mimir is a shipwright's tool which allows you to

1) Put images and text on screens using simple sensors/timer blocks rather than complex C#. Make batteries charge/discharge rather than just toggle. Make rotors spin a particular way rather than just reverse.

2) Trigger multiple things from one call, making dedicated TriggerNow timer blocks obsolete.

3) Trigger based on name, including everying matching a name, allowing you flexibility in complex/adaptive arrangements.

4) Put complex triggers into strings in Mimir's code, allowing you to change the behavior of dozens of sensors, timer blocks, and other blocks by editing an entry, rather than manually changing them all. Also useful since editing the "argument" field is impossible after you've entered it, so that's not a great thing to debug. Definitely use this feature!

5) Make ANY block into a trigger that causes something to happen when its state changes - reactors, batteries, solar panels, lights, vents, cargo bays. Status is smart, and triggers based on the block's function.

6) Use simple C# to create complex behaviors, such as automatically turning on all batteries when a reactor goes out, or sounding an alarm if air is vented, or triggering a response if your refineries are out of ore.

7) Use simple C# to create adaptive interfaces to give players tremendous control over your ship's operation, allowing them to choose from a menu of the most important choices at the moment.

8) Memorize and interact with remote blocks, such as changing text panels on faraway ships.

9) Do weird stuff with turrets or, really, any block.

See video and comments in Mimir's code base for details, as this is apparently not allowed to be very long. :|

The Hihat is an easy-to-understand example: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=508949976

The Moebius is a WSAD-controlled tank that uses Mimir: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=495447668

The Foe-Hammer is an example of breaking the rules of the game with nothing but code: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=490730322

Probably outdated samples due to the code change:
The Zebra Stone offers a complex, full-featured example: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=477944535

The Jumpington offers a simpler example including sunlight seeking and jump drive management: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=478552045

Advanced drive management with the Picardian: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=478684244

I recommend you use something like SciTE ( http://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html ) rather than the in-game editor.
