How about, ships that cannot be bought but only captured?
Maybe 1 for each faction. These ships are experimental/unlisted. Will not attack if encountered, stealthy, more likely to outrun/out maneuver you. High piloting/stealth/tactics skill captian.
Faction ships has to be in line with the faction focus.
Example:
Economic: Armored transport, or 200+ cargo hold.
Military: Space superiority (balanced), infiltrator, or defender
Spy ships, etc
Great stats, pre-loaded with upgrades, cannot be further upgraded, expensive repairs.
Pirate/bounty magnet.
and a few of independents since they don't follow any rules, they can develop unique ships.
Encounter is a little higher than alien encounter probability.

whattaya mean you want a balanced ship  ... you're meant to propose something outrageously weighted (kinda like most of the alien ships), and hopefully Cory only tones it down by 50% <grin>. I agree though it would be cool to have some named captains flying around in their own pimped-out rides. In rumors, you might hear "I've heard that Captain Blue-Hat, with his ship, the Tie-Dye, was last seen at these coordinates" |

I can't wait to fly the Tie-Dye in the sky, eating a ham on rye, and blowin my nose on two-ply.
If I kill Captain Blue-Hat, do I get to keep it as a trophy?
In the awards section of the game, it shows
"Blue Hat Trophy"
The captain received this award for spanking the pants off of the dread pirate Captain Blue-Hat
Unlock: A blue hat that you can put on ole Turdlip to stop him looking so peculiar.

As in, the sails and engine is balanced to the obscene amount of armor, guns and torps. |

Aaah ... yes, if you've got 30 guns facing forward, then logically you should have 30 guns pointing aft. Otherwise you'd just tip over in space |

Ié the special ships have pre-installed upgrades,why not make every ship have a special update?(like,cadar:double torp launcher,shoots2 torps the same time,and javat:mega water tank: 50 slots.)
