Summary0000175: Starship bonus ships
DescriptionThe basic idea is to give the player the ability to choose a starship type as his bonus ship (and possibly unlock further starships through ARS).

---Edit---
The bomber starship made it into the players arsenal already, so we can scratch that one off the list. The rest are still in the air!
---edit---
The bomber starship, for example, already has mk1->4 version, just not available for the player. The warbird and beam starships should be able to be balanced into mk1->4 versions as well.

I would also be for adding a few more starships to the lineup, to fill some niches that current bonus ships have, but these ideas to come later.

coming from another idea, i propose some starship ideas to go along with starship bonus ships:

For instance, perhaps:
engineer starship (engineer + immune to instakill. Do want)
point defense starship (flak turrets, possibly tachyon emissions?)
speed inhibitor starship (speed 12-15 in a midsize radius?)
Mobile shield starship (about mk1 ff level range, maybe 5m hp, at 12-15 speed)
..suicide starship?

I think with the recent move of zenith/spire starships to their own seperate groups, this should be brought back up as an option, in place of huge numbers of available 'free' starships in each game.
