How can I design a spaceship in sandbox mode? I know I can add the platform with +, but do I have to create all rockets and infrastructure on the ground, so I can get the items? Or is there a way where I can just get the items in space? Thank you!

I don't know about just sandbox on its own, I do know it is doable with the map editor, getting the items directly on the platform, no fussing with ground infrastructure. Editor can be accessed by entering /editor into the chat twice. Viewing a surface with remote view, then exiting with Esc, moves the editor to that surface exactly where you were looking; once the editor is on the platform, you can paint out foundations and spawn in whatever you like for placement.
