When building your vessel, you have a choice of multiple type of hulls you can build. Each hull type determines the number of parts you can incorporate inside and outside of the hull, allowing you to create your own ship by design. This game design choice will allow players to have complete control of the size, shape, and design of their space ships while giving passive limits to what they can do.
To reach the largest ship avaliable, players are required to buy and trade technological blueprints while mining for minerials. This will estabilish an in-game economy which I will touch on later in the pitch. With 13 different types of hull frames to choose fromes, players will be able to come up with many different combinations of ships. Each part is also modular, meaning players can build ships piece by piece and even place in bulk heads to save personal when the hull is breached.
Since ship building is in modular state, players will have to strategically design and build their ships in effort to make the best spaceship avalaible. Make the ship too big, it will take longer to turn and longer to gain speed. Much like modern ship building when it comes to aircraft carriers or frigates, players will have to experiment and find the perfect ship for combat, transporting goods, or mine resources.
When an player designs and creates an ship, they may upload a blueprint of the ship if they like, so other players can use their design to build their own ship or they could keep their ship's design a secret while not giving away secrets to opposing empires or pirates. These type of blueprints can fetch a pretty hefty price and must be traded in person since there is no establish market for these type of blueprints. The best place for trading these blueprints would be at the central traders hub or on the black market.

Personal Note: The basic idea is to build out the frame of the ship, the you can add technology onto the ship such as engines, force field generators, power nodes, variety weapons, hanger shielding, command table, computer modules, electronic warfare stations, etc, etc... basically full customization of your ship. Heck you will be able to apply player design skins to your ships you make. Another aspect I want is the ability to have ship classes, allowing for different size ships, some could even allow hanger of multiple fighters which can be piloted by A.I. All in all is the idea founded around making ships fully editable, allowing full customization at the players finger tips.
