As we can see taste is a very personal thing.
There is no way to make it optional, as its tied to the ship geometry.

Most GFX related issues have been resolved.

Orange light is intended.
Weapon compatibility is a different question and i cant answer it. Please do not mix report like that in one thread.

I have added a small arrow geometry into the holograph of the module in the editor. It points into the diretion the deck is facing.
Please have a look in the next beta, if thats ok or if its still confusing.

If you zoom in to the module in the build menu, you should see the room as a holo display on top of the penthouse. Based on this display, you are able to see the direction the room is facing. There is currently a bug, that the room is displayed rotated by 180° compared to the real position in game. ...

It should be placeable.
Could you try enabling "allow module overlap" in the settings of this menu (cog wheel in to upper right hand side) and see if you can place the module then?

Now i need to know why do you need to select them while flying your ship? Do you need to select them only in third person view, or is there a reason you would need to be able to select them in the cockpit view as well? For various reasons. It's strange if you can select elements of other ships but ...

Thank you for the report.
The geometry has been reexported with the missing part to resolve the issue.

It clearly shows that while I am piloting the ship, the elements have a very narrow area for selection. If I ...

I can not reproduce. Yes you try to select a surface element from multiple KM away, yes it is small, but you can still select it. The external view on my ship did not make it easier to select the same turrets. As we have added the visual enhancement goggles ("y" or "z" key depending on layout) you c...

This has been resolved for the upcoming build (beta 3). Though i have to say that on both of my monitors here the cut off line is almost invisible. Maybe check if your monitor is not set to a wrong gamma or it otherwise not properly calibrated, it might have made the issue more visible than it usual...

There is a button on the left handside railing you can interact with to call the elevator.
As this button was not obvious enough, i remodelled it and made it a dedicated panel. Hope its more visible now.
