Really wish there was a 'guess best fit' option somewhere when building a hull. I've got a spot where I'm trying to blend a slope and it feels like I've tried every armor piece in every configuration and none of them fit.

I have an OK mental image of what I want the hull to look like and it's actually helping with the choice-paralysis from my prior post however I can't hold a few dozen different mental images in my head at once to fit the puzzle pieces together in a timely manner. What fits in the game shown?

To zoom out a bit: the idea I had for the Hull was to have a cockpit on a protrusion and have it enlarge in a segment or two before more-or-less flattening out on a wider body. I'm trying to make the slope for one of the first columns of it widening and need this mystery block.

Edit: Adjusted the overall shape of the build to avoid needing this part... I think it looks better now too. Making good progress and came up with a name for it. I may post a download link to the Voxel Lance v1 sometime soon.

Minor Update: The hull design couldn't support the amount of thrusters it'd need to fly with full it's oreholds full so I've flown that partial ship off my prototyping platform and started over. Now that I have the gist of the Hull figured out I've mapped out the functional blocks and am in the process of wrapping a new version of the Hull around them. Might be done today or tomorrow if all goes well.
