I remember Luis had a few cool battleship designs that followed the look of the old cruiser. They looked skeletal and utilitarian, much in that advanced way that made it work.
I think these should be open to all, though. I remember SRP'ing an Aquilon for my AI to better explain how he was getting his drones around. And then I had my cruiser that acted as a command hub for my AI with three drones stuck on the bottom. All in my head, yeah? But a carrier would be perfect for the indies seeing as they could be excellent utility ships. An AI would be its own repair shop, resource collector, manufacturer and autonomous vessel. This should be shared with everyone.
