Dear Sirs (as we know that Ferengi females don't have the lobes for business)
After recently being promoted to Lt Cmdr in Starfleet I have been reprimanded and put on leave of absence after being caught colluding with two Orion cadets (it was a fit up!)
I now find myself on the Vlugta asteroid mining dilithium 18 hours a day, although the view leaves a lot to be desired I actually enjoy the freedom from the establishment of Starfleet.
The only real break from the...enjoyment of mining is when I get to use the Yellowstone runabout to transport Dilithium from Vlugta to potential customers.
Now, this is the problem. As much as I love the runabout it really is no match for a heavily armed Orion Corsair pirate vessel. I did actually look into a Tuffli trading ship but it sadly is just a sitting duck in real combat.
But then I thought of a great idea; The Lobi Consortium Shipyards!
Just think, a trading ship with the ability to be upgraded! Purchase a ship at Lt Cmdr rank and increase the hull, weapons and even bridge officer and console layout at each successive rank.
Kit-bashing! These ships shouldn't even look close to any of the current factions the Consortium trade with. Instead these ships could be anything from behemoths to sleek mercenary crafts, after all I do know some mercenary and pirate captains who also frequent Vlugta (by the way a bar or a casino wouldn't go amiss there).
But above all these ships should be very customisable and have a huge selection of looks. Just think of the Lobi and Dilithium the Consortium would profit from!
Anyway, I'm back on shift in 5 mins so it's back to the airlock for me
Sincerely, Morris "Micky" Flanagan

I would not be surprised to see more build customization become available next year after Star Citizen is launched.
