ships

the subject has been raised before, and was just wondering we have so many ships that are never used anymore. i,m sure we are all aware of the most commonly used ships. so can a lot of these ships be cleaned out with the prospect of new ones. in many other mods seen here in forum can some be developed here. i was asked by one player can we buy nomad ships anywhere. i promptly said only if your dead and an alien i have also found especially with new players, and on here the forum. that what might be silly question to us is important to them, or they would not ask them. to me its important to explain why things are done a particular way, so we achieve a better understanding.
