bring back the old style

I'm sorry but this is a complete bullshit statement
It takes hours in the new designer to make any kind of decent interior, and that's if you don't bother with paths, door connections, turbolifts, complex textures, complex voids, complex barriers, lighting, jigs and jig problems, and ignore most of the key functions of the designer

In the old designer, one could easily make a decent looking lounge next to a bridge at the top, bottom or side of the ship in under 5 minutes, a spacious one too if the "open to below" function was used
All the other issues you mentioned such as lagging only occurred in the online designer which you shouldn't be using, room numbers were an obvious and simple fix, and railings were easy to make regardless of what you think
And yes, a simple textured shape takes under a minute to make in blender and import if it's a cube with no detail, and even then you'll have to re-texture it in the new designer, apply voids, and then apply doors. If it's anything more detailed, you'll be creating it in blender for hours, and then spending another 20 hours applying voids, doors, textures, barriers, paths, ladders, and lighting to it, and that's just for a single room... Meanwhile in the old designer you'd spend an hour at most on an entire TL32 ship

Sure, the old designer didn't allow for fine control of windows but it was easy to use and you didn't require hours of time and knowledge of complex 3D modelling software, and now it's been replaced with an extremely unfriendly and boring indie modelling program and all of the good parts of the old designer were removed just for that

Don't even get me started on how there's no connection between ship function and design with the new system, or how extremely hard it is to link the hull and the interior and how there's no connection between those either
What even
