Summary	0012971: Map Ship Selection
Description	Most people seem to have a preferance for a single, or a small number of ships. In single player regenerating the map to get the ship you want is only a minor annoyance. However, in co-op this becomes a serious issue. In a recent game with 3 players it took 15-20 minutes of regenerating the map to get the ships everyone wanted to play that game. That is more than a little frustrating. My suggestion is add an additional option to the map generator seeds. "Only generate maps with the following ship(s):" Where a player could select a single, or group of ships they wish to have on the map. Then the map would skip all seeds that did not contain those ships. I think this would be a relatively simple option to implement and have a huge benefit in both single player and co-op games.
