Have you ever wanted to design your own ship in Star Traders RPG?
Instead of buying one from the catalog, have you ever wanted to pick each statistic and the hull scheme yourself?

Yep. Heck if we could draw ships logos too, you know what mine would look like... a big nasty carrot on a stick bleeding from its little fronds.

Errr, havn't I heard something about this before, like several months ago? Aight, my answer is ''YEEEEEEEEEEES!!!'', and that with a 1000 men's voices.  Sent from my broken HTC Desire C using proboards. Anyone's got a fan? |

IAP? Oooooooooooo ... sounds awesome. There'd have to be some balancing things though - you shouldn't be able to change every aspect because otherwise you'll end up having an unstoppable force for evil ...  |

There'd have to be some balancing things though - you shouldn't be able to change every aspect because otherwise you'll end up having an unstoppable force for evil ... Open to suggestions. We're going to sell it for $1 in Elite, so yes, an IAP. There will be limits, just like the designer I use, and Unlocks as well. |

COOL ... so long as there is balance I'm all for custom ship design!
MAYBE even add some reward unlocks for different things in the custom ship designer ...
Eg reward 1 - customize ship engines
reward 2 - customize ship sails
reward 3 - customize ship hull
reward 4 - customize ship guns
reward 5 - customize ship torps
reward 6 - customize ship cargo size
reward 7 - customize ship crew size
Cargo size should be a factor of the hull size less crew and engines
Conversely, crew should be a factor of hull less cargo and engines
Maybe torps and guns can be balanced so you have a maximum number of "weapons" based on hull size, and you can use any combination of torps and guns.
That way you can't get a ship hull of 10, with 50 guns, 30 torps, 300 cargo, 30 engines, 40 sails, and 100 crew.

slayernz - the designer will impose all the same sorts of rules that have been in place for 4 years as Cory has created ships. So, there will be many inherent rules to keep you from simply creating a force of pure evil. That said ... a creative designer ...
