Moving platforms?

Is there a probability that someday someone would add autonomous moving platforms like ships in the starmade or space engineers, to the minetest? I mean is it even technically possible? Should I expect that it would be a thing in the future?

Yes, like this. But this mod replaces all nodes by entities which means I cannot build on it while flying and all node-related logic will not work in flight. I can't put a working mesecons button on it, etc.

That's a necessity for this purpose. Also take a look at this.

Technically it should be possible to move a bunch of nodes at once, but it'd be laggy.

I think MT currently has plans for stuff like this; being able to save a part of the world into an entity.

You can move stuff and players with mesecons pistons and movestones...

You can't create flying fully customizable ships with pistons and movestones. I'm talking about a "platform" you can build on and walk on while flying. Just take a look at the video below.

Did you try out all-side sticky blocks?

No. Is there any examples of what they can?

No, I don't give examples because it could ruin servers.
A friend of mine experienced heavy map corruption on excessive use of All-Side Stickies.
Please discard the idea, for the sake of the environment.
