As I know planed some possibility of custom ship exchange.
My proposal: inside this custom ship database provide possibility for voting. And if some custom ship get more than,
for example, 500 or 1000 votes this ship will be included to standart STOCK LIST of PF game.
I feel like that has a lot of potential for abuse. Plus it would completely wreck the standard scoreboards every time a ship were added to the default. How about instead a highly-voted-for ship could get some kind of Featured thing? Nice recognition without breaking the game at all.
Agreed, and people might set up bot accounts. I suggest using a vote-weighted random featuring, so well-loved designs will float. Perhaps ensure they don't show up too regularly.
