I'd like to suggest making a list of the ships that definitely needs to be changed or modified and a list of the types of ships that are needed to be made. A list saying how many ships of each kind exist would be interesting too.
Because if almost no one uses carriers, for instance, and everyone is modeling them, it makes no sense.
So that way, the mod wouldn't end up with 70% cruiser hip suggestions and 28% fighters suggestion and 2% of freighter suggestions. It could help balancing the number of ships available for all types.
While most ship designers are aware of what is and is not needed in the next version of the mod, I would endorse a posted list of ships needed and in development.
Igiss did try something previously but it currently isn't updated.
