Custom Ship Question - Shush Muppet - 12-07-2012
While this is definately a pipe-dream at this point in time, I'm trying to figure out if I should go to the trouble of trying to get something like this rolling.
Supposing I had 2 billion or so credits in the bank to pay the various workers with, would it be feasable for me to custom order a ship from DSE based on a current model?
I'm thinking of a freighter built on the current Spatial frame. Carving out most of the weapon systems and turrets (except for the mines and CMs) to make room for a 600 unit cargo hold, and getting a low-visibility black primer spray on the exterior with the ship's name under the cockpit window. Also would like to get the engines reconfigured to burn an H-fuel/MOX mixture that would cause the engine exhaust to burn red. And of course, getting the cockpit windows glazed with a glare-reducing red tint would be awesome.
So, should I start looking for sponsors for this project/mining day and night? Or is this a no-go?
EDIT: Off the record, I'd be using this ship to smuggle illegal goods.

This may be better done on another engine that allows more customisation, as a custom ship would involve explicitly adding the ship into the game. No go

Indeed, we're not doing seperate models for unique ships. You can customize the ship a little by changing light hardpoints around though.
