Helratz's Vanilla Command Consoles & Computer Cores

Description
This is part one.

If you're like me. You like to use scripts to make things easier and to make your ships & stations (LCDs) look awesome. The only issue is large blocks can really eat space and power.

To set up 6 scripts (1xPB, 1xTB each) you would need a minimum of 12 full large block spaces.

Not any more.

The HR-6 Computer Core can do the same using just 2 large block spaces. With timers to spare.

The HR-8 Computer Core can do 8 scripts, minus 2 timer slots for the added program blocks.

There are also 6 Command Consoles each with thier own computer core built in. Some with seats, some without.

Those with seats also have a remote block built-in so you can setup a hotbar and use it while in the passenger seat. Each seat has a LCD on back to label that station "tactical", "science", "engineering", etc... I would recommend you give the remote block a matching name to quickly reference it in "K".

Buttons can also be setup for times you don't need to sit. Those with seats have small LCDs at the top to use for labeling buttons. I recommend you put them in the same order as the hotbar in the remote.

Those without seats have small LCDs at the front for button labeling.

Each Console is also equipped with:

-Multiple program blocks
-Multiple timer blocks
-1X sensor block
-1-2X sound blocks
-Ambient Lights (group already setup)
-Alert Status Lights ("Red Alert" group already setup)
-1-2X Large block air vent(s) behind the console.
-1X projector block for easy repairs or simulated 3D.
-1-2X warheads for self-destruct.
-1X small reactor for Emergency Power

Current sizes (in large blocks)
-1x1x2
-1x2x2
-1x2x3

Large blocks can be placed around all sides without collisions.

These will work for scripts that use names/tags for programming. For the "Floorplan" script I believe you will still need the PB to be mounted on the main ship/station grid.


To do:
-Make more console styles. ("L" shapes, etc...)
-Release some pre-programmed with my favorite scripts and LCDs setup. (maybe, by leaving them blank you can customize yourself)

Hope you enjoy. :)

Is this mod still working? I've added it to my server and don't seem to have any new blocks :(. Thought this was the perfect solution to my issue then RIP doesn't work :( :'( Sad panda.

Ok, I have to try this out as well. I have been looking for a solution that is both real working LCD AND control console to sit in.

I expect no less. :D
I already used some of your command stations and the server core ... "improved" them with the azimuth cockpit for more easy control on a crew served ship. (We had those anyway)

Feel yourself responsible to be the one that brought me into the world of large blocks to small.
Before i saw this, i just thought it would be a fun thing but WAAAAAY to much work. :P

I will be very soon. It just takes a while to set everything up.

This looks awesome. I think its time for myself to try this stuff too.

Could you may upload an example world?
Would surely help for inspiring people to use these kind of command stations and even build their own. :)
