in future developments. would there be able to be a modular ship maker. make our own ships out of different modules like generators, engines, ship parts, gun turrets, bridge and that sort of stuff. also a skirmish mode so you can test them but you wont lose them or existing campaign ships. also import the ships to missions you have already completed. i know this would take a while to implement if it goes ahead but its a good idea.

But I think if he does implement this, then the AI difficulty is going to have to be increased a bit since making your own ships could possibly mean a quick blow through of the missions or mining or survival. So increasing the difficulty would even it out again.
I think it's a great idea since games out there now that have a build your own ship or whatever kind of suck so yea.

The idea is awesome, it's just rather extensive in terms of work. It will require ships to be stored in a new way. A new interface will have to be added, which allows customization. Finally (as already pointed out by derezz619), the AI will have to be more flexible, or else a certain custom ship might overwhelm them. A modification like this would probably require another game mode (as you have mentioned). Once the current update is online we'll have more time for new features like this.

thought if it was implemented, the custom ships would only be able to be used on missions already completed. and you could have schematics for ships and have to use credits to build them. skirmish might not have mineable resources because otherwise people could just add hundreds of mineable rocks and make millions quickly.

Yea for the skirmish it could just be like a battle royale. You could just start out with your fleet you already have and just fly around the map blowing stuff up and the enemies can randomly drop a schematic of an enemy ship or something? Could have that and save up the money to buy new schematics?
