Wonder if there can be a selection added that would allow a player to pick different types of ships within the races available. Picture wise would be great. Adding additional features would be awesome.

Maybe a new race that can use artifacts more efficiently?

Maybe a new concept like speed? Evading attacks??

A concept based around the minerals? Using a certain mineral per hour gives a bonus to attributes? Would make minerals more precious and it would also eat up cash by buying minerals if you can't mine them fast enough. So minerals and cash would be seen in a different light.

Researching drones? Could be stored in cargo; making cargo more precious. Used to add something. Don't really have an idea. Just think cargo needs more concept.

The game has a lot of awesome ideas. Lots of strategy. But some parts of it are overlooked. Why not add more concepts and strategy to parts of the game we overlook? ie; Minerals, cargo, different types of ships for different races, new concepts for battle like speed. Just my $0.2.

Custom ships have been suggested before, and I tried reviving it to no avail I beleive it is an awesome idea and hae been asking for it for about 2 months now.
