Starfury needs civilians!

[Baron Munchausen]

I still replay Starfury occasionally. I finally got around to trying the Galactica mod, for example. But the one thing that the original game and all the mods seem to lack is a decent variety of civilian ships! Why are all races' freighters exactly the same? If they can design original warships, surely they can design original freighters? For that matter, even within societies that are not 'centralized' and authoritatarian there should be many different freighters. Creaky old rust buckets. Huge, sleek super freighters. Distinctive 'corporate logo' freighters. (I'd love to see a knock-off of the UPS truck as a freighter. Call it 'Space Parcel Service'? ) And the pirates should be a hodge-podge of converted freighters and older warships, not all the same model! Is someone working on any interesting civilian ships to provide a little color and background?
