While the ships in game are nice, the level of customization can only go so far. A starship creator in the game that allows you to create and design your own starship would offer that further level of customization. Just like you design your own character in the unknown alien race type, you would take existing ship parts to form a custom design, with sliders to alter the size/shape. Then pick the ship type (escort,science, or cruiser), and choose which levels of bridge consoles would be of what type, and so on. Obviously restrictions would have to be placed upon it to prevent runabout sized battleships or moon sized dreadnaughts, but I for one would enjoy the game even more if my ship was as unique as my character.
