The Custom Difficulty Option in CK greatly increased the value and replay-ability of the game for me. I would love to see the same sort of feature in ST.
I'd think that Achievements acquired in Custom could not grant unlocks (more because figuring out a balance way to set that up would be a nightmare), which is fine because custom is more for people who've already gotten a feel for the game.
Things you could select:
For example, I think it could be fun to do something like:
Starting kit: Hard
Threat Progression: Normal
Enemy Captain Level: 120% (Hard)
Fuel Economy: Challenging
Galactic Economy: Hard
Alien Presence: "This one goes to 11" (i.e. maximum aliens)
Death: Perma-death On
Oddities: Off (Mainly because I think I've seen them all by now)
Just because it would be fun to have an Alien Hunting Safari for a game or two.

Things you could select:
- Starting Kit (XP, Rep, credits, etc. as a single option)
- Threat Progression (How quickly the background "game level" increases)
- Enemy Captain Level
- Fuel Economy
- Galactic Economy (how friendly/aggressive base prices and contract payouts are)
- Alien Presence (how common alien encounters can be)
- Death (Toggle and possibly terms of Perma-death)
- Humor/Oddities Toggle (turn some of the weird fluff stuff on or off)
