Creature Capture Station - placement issues...

    Hey guys. Recent patch added a new station for the ship (or wherever)

    The way the creature capture station is placed in the ships directly conflicts visually with the other stations.
    The issue seems to be that the current graphic is using a margin on all sides compared to the other stations. (taking one block too much space on top and sides?)

    Please consider shifting the way this is implemented visually so the graphic places in a fashion more similar to the other existing stations. (unless of course this item is completely temporary or something...)
    If it's changed to place like the others, it should look nice afterward.

    You can see what I'm talking about with the example for comparison.

    P.S. How about a protected ship editting mode to let us move where the other stations are sometime! :D

    The object takes up a 4x4 area, and the image is 3x3 centered in the middle of it.

    Exactly. Even switching it to 3 tall, 4 wide would help, but it should probably be 3 x 3 unless they're going to fix the 3d printer/tech station too.

    Use plain tags to stop the simile from forming ({plain} and {/plain} with square brackets)
    I agree that a 3x3 would look nicer, but even-width things, especially 'symmetrical' ones (not facing left/right) work a bit better for decoration than odd-width things

    Edit: [plain] tags inside plain tags? does this even work?
    Edit2: Totally gonna tell people about all unusual tags like this, especially ones other than [plain] such as [spoiler]
