    Would it be possible to add some generic sign-like symbols to the textures? Similar to how some of the devices already have some labels written to them (e.g. "warning", "cargo system" etc.) but adding these as texture symbols would allow you to add them to non-device blocks that accept texture symbols. Would add to the flavor of designs.

    For example, some nice looking small signs with texts like:
    - Titles and ranks: "Commander", "Lieutenant", "Admiral" etc.
    - Places: "Storage", "Power", "Fuel", "Administration", "Information" etc.
    - Other similar things i.e. "signs and labels you would expect to commonly see"

    Yes, you can do that kind of things with an LCD panel but the problem is that it requires an entire cube of space no matter how small, which can be problematic in tight places. Of course, you can't have texture-signs for *everything* but how about at least some commonly occurring texts? For example, you could add texture signs for things that would fit the places used in the Empyrion story line and help to improve things there. If made generic enough, designers could use them elsewhere in their own designs, where sensible.
