I realise this was long ago - but I've always been building my ships with ZeroG in mind, going as far as to take ships and mod them beyond recognition while still retaining most of the style of the original ship...
if you're still looking for shipbuilders and I find the time to get off my study and on Empyrion, I'd gladly join you.

Ahhhhhh.... I love little things with a purpose. Cheap to build and I can scatter them all over the place!

A great minimialist ship, looks good *and* can have storage. The sacrifice of o2 here is okay, since it's not meant to do more than short trips anyway on 1 fuel tank

Haha nice! Its alot of fun~

I mainly use this ship when I have to make a fast run somewhere. My maps keep getting littered with thes little buggers.

Really like this sleek little ship. I've disected it to modify into a slightly larger model. Nice work
Soon I'll be churning out inferior knock offs in no time.
