Now i dont know if this idea was presented in the past but i thought it give my imagination a whirl at this...
I was thinking that somewhere in the future of darkspace, we could build up our own ships for each class....Say like this, having parts from the both of the Dreadnoughts on the ICC put into one ship, but the weapon slots(mainly the amount) would have to stay the same along with the energy and special slots and things like that, what im trying to get at is the design and the way the ship lookis, this would give a neat twist to seeing ships of different designs all over the place, now the Kluth and UGTO would need some extra pieces to make their own designs, since they dont have two different looking Dreadnoughts or two different destroyers....And the same would go for the cruisers, stations, scouts, frigates and destroyers...IMHO this would be seriously cool, but the neatest twist would be where YOU would place the weapons at, this would give a nice little look to this game in the future..
Now flame me all you want..This is just my opinion on this idea....Ideas and advice would be nice to hear from your point of view*looks at the dakrspace community for their ideas on this subject*

There was some talk, a while back, of implementing a ship customization feature. If thats still in the plans I'm sure its fairly far down the road from here.

I remember a long time back I heard the eventual goal would be to spawn a bare hull and then you would load it with whatever devices you wanted. I don't know how customizable this idea was intended to be. I think giving gadgets power/size values and allowing you to stack together whatever combo you wanted would be cool, but it might cause a lot of balance issues too.
Might need to specify certain hull type restrictions for certain gadget and back them up with appropriate fiction. For instance, a ship-mounted interdictor is too big/too much drain for destroyer or smaller but causes hull instability in dread and larger due to the quantum singularity used to disrupt jump drives. Thus only dictor cruisers.
PS Sven, man, that sig has got to go. Some things are best forgotten don't you think?

I was meaning more along the lines of this, mainly what the ship looks like and its weapon locations, but you would still have to follow the rules and restrictions to what weapons and how many you had on it, say if you were an Admiral with all the recomended Badges for the EAD and AD, you could fit all the weapons on it in your own places and have your ship look the way you want it just as long as it is within the limits...BUT, what ever amount of weapons a ship can have remains the same...
Put it like this, where you have the Log Off, Command options in the Garage menu, what ship you click on, then it pops up with the Command Option so long as you have everything for it, then next to that option it would have Customization(only for MV use, since more resources) mainly the ships apearance and weapon locations and engine locations would change, but the amount of weapons, engines, specials etc. would remain the same number as long as its in the class of ship that you chose to customize.

I remember a while ago when we were able to change any part for any part...
I had a heavy supply (UGTO) which was hunting ICC ADs
(5 cl2k, 1 flux beam, 4 heavy armor, 2 reloads)
looking back to those times it was not funny
