Should there be more unique ships?

big somewhat conceited post

Dude, it's not like the Necrosis was going to do anything other than languish as useless chunks of data in the mod files anyway. The thing may as well be put to use by someone, no? Favouritism or not (it's probably not), better to have the ship flying actively around than not, in my book.

The only problem I ever had with unique ships (and shiplines/systems: see RoS) is that there's this disturbing trend of the player or players who get them disappearing off the radar some time after getting them, meaning they're never seen and people wasted time making them. I managed to catch a glimpse of all three of the Necrosis, Tundra and Satsuma, but as far as I know all of those were out of commission before Narcotic SRPed the Necrosis. I'm fairly certain K'Hara are keeping the Tundra from being inactivity wiped (though I don't think anyone is actually flying it) and I guess KNF or Kusari government or something have their hands on the Satsuma (though maybe not since Emperor-san is away drinking tea with the Brets), but if that's the legacy of newly-implemented unique ships then the problem of what to do with the old ones should be addressed first.
