It doesnt look nice when ships go throu base mesh, it would look better if ships flew over it like they fly above planets and suns. |

Would it solve the problem if you could offset the base graphic below the plane of play? |

except that station also fly above planets. so if your on top of a station on top of a planet, it would look really weird too. im not sure what the best solution would be. i guess we could offset the graphic and remove their code that make them go over planets. Will have to try that out to see how it look later. |

Could it be possible to make stations be a physical block(IE, you bounce off it)? And make a docking ring around them that allows for players to slow down inside and dock? The making Planets/Suns/Moons/Drones/Bases(Player) be under the 2d plane? |

Dont like that either. How about just making either A: Your ship turns pure red and is always visible when covered by other models, or B: Other models become semi-transparent when your ship is beneath them? |

I really think dropping some of the larger suns below the Z-axis, as well as space stations would be a nice addition. It would give a better feel of depth. Your ship should pretty much always be higher on the z-axis than anything else, excluding nebula's and other intentional effects. |

Making other models translucent when they overlap you might be a pretty good solution. |
