who would like to see a new feature where you can make custom ships based on a
combination of different classes :D kind of like in the old pc game starship creator.
also lets please see more discovery era ships specifically starfield class. its almost
impossible to procure the discovery :'(

    Would not work the way ships are designed currently and would demand a lot of work to function properly with little profit to be had.

    Also any ships not from the series itself or certain specific EU material is not likely to ever be included as for season 3 DSC designs they'll probably come to the game in due time.

    Basically the issue is that the parts for ships won't scale or morph to match the model they're placed in, at the moment that's not a major issue as the models can be built so that the parts match more or less, but if they opened all customization parts to all ships you'd run into major issues of parts not matching the model they're place using the current customization system, if they can't do that with ships that are essentially the same aka the various forms of the Constitution class due to some of those variations being different enough size, they sure as hell can't do that with totally different hull forms.

    And if you know anything about 3d modelling that's not something that's easy to change without taking resource demands thru the roof.

    "I wanna build my own Connie, but using cheap Zen store parts" is another reason this won't happen.

    You are talking about taking away a revenue source...people paying a higher price for the ship they want but don't already own.

    The old T1-T5 ships often come with kitbash options, and the T6 versions of them often have that selection intact. It would be great if new ships came with the same kind of kits. They would not have to be major, just something a little more than simply material changes, like maybe several nacelle styles or dishes or whatever.

    It would be nice for a few generic Nacelle styles, as those often would work across a wide variety of Ships. I think it be great to offer a few new Nacelle styles depending on the Faction, to use with all Faction Starships. :o

    As for Enterprise F comment below, those aren't typical Mid sized Nacelle's either, and wouldn't apply. Also any ship specific Nacelle's would also continue to unlock with only acquiring that ship or class. I just think it be nice to have1-2 nice new mid sized Generic nacelle's that apply to all T5 or T6 ships as an available option. :smiley:
