Ops, accidently saved this before I finished.
This has most likely been posted but I've had some issues accessing some posts.
That I will be posting in the correct topic.
I have been playing this game on and off this week and this is what I came up with.
1. Give basic hull designed ships without any systems. This way people who dont have the time/inclination to create a ship design can just input engines, weapons, shields and other systems to ships without taking the time to create a new design.
This is really good for those of us with ... no creative skills...

Really hoping for this, I havent found any links to download player created designs or I would have done so before.
2. Is it possible to make the ship design its own progrem? Split so that its possible to play with designs without loading the entire game.
3. After upgrading a ship from one design to another, the name does not get updated with the new design. Etc. Design Viper - ship name Viper 356, upgraded to Viper MK2 - ship name still Viper 356 instead of upgrading to Viper MK2.
Upgrading many ships at once, it would help for the system to update it by itself.
Thats about it...
Hope they add 1 and 3.
Hopefully some nice creative person will post download links to hull designs for us creatively challenged
