I love the idea of designing your ship block by block, so I thought it'd be neat to find populated shipyards in orbit around some stars for you to use to rebuild your ship. When you enter the shipyard you are given a hanger and your ship becomes destructible so you can dismantle / reassemble it as you please. And the shipyard would also have vendors selling parts and ship decorations (such as engines and fins). The size limit for the final design of your ship would be limited by the size of the hanger (which can be larger and more expensive to rent, in later sectors), and it wouldn't let you leave unless you met certain requirements, such as having the ship sealed with no leaks, a corresponding amount of thrusters for the size of the ship, and so on. Also the specs of the ship (such as fuel usage, maximum distance per jump, armor rating for space combat, etc.) would be adjusted by the amount of thrusters, or the type of engine, material of the outer hull, and so on.
and what exactly difference does it make? it was obviously berried just like all my posts about it. otherwise they wouldn't have felt the need to make a new thread about it.
