Forgive me if this had been discussed already.

What about the posibility to build a ship which only would be available to a (more or less) higher experienced player? IMHO some kind of construction facilities on some stations would give the game a nice boost in gameplay. Perhaps there could be several such facilities, one might be limited on building ship parts (a cargo space enhancement?) while another is only able to build one kind of ship or processes specific kinds of cargo into something which has a higher value. This shouldn't be too heavy to implement via the mission computer?

By the way, I miss the "dead end sectors". Every sector is currently connected to at least two other sectory. Don't know why I miss this, but those sectors gave me some kind of safe feeling.
