I wouldn't mind seeing some very different traits as possible additions to hull definitions. Right now, we can have a wide variety of ship designs (e.g. "arsenal ships" that are simply chock-full of missiles -- not too practical, 'tho, once PDC V is common and ships become nigh as fast as CSMs; rammers; heavily-armored ships; heavy beamers, light beamers, et al), but there's a lot that we can't do, that might be interesting.

For instance, if there were a "stealth" hull type that hid the ship class for a substantial cost...

Or, perhaps, ships that have different maintenance and repair characteristics due to modularity or so forth.

Maybe big ships should get a flag that says that they can only be assembled at a space-borne shipyard...
