I'm wondering if I'll ever actually get back to playing the game!
This has to be one of the coolest new features I've ever seen added to a v2.
Wow. Just wow.
This is perfect for those of us that yearn to mod, but are either too novice/too impatient to learn the code and/or spend the hours a good mod takes. I've already built alternate colony ships (more speed/range, low cargo space) and constructors (ditto) for those made dashes to far flung planets and resources, and beyond the look and feel you can add in your descriptions.
My FF-Schooner:
Like the prairie schooners of old, perfect those mad dashes to far flung (and free!) homesteads. Sacrificing all but basic life support for turbo charged hyperdrive, it can get there quick -- but "there" better no be in hostile territory!
I almost feel like saying, Suckers! I would have PAID for this option in an expansion pack
