So currently, it seems quite straightforward to add a new ship set to the game (that can be chosen at race selection). However, for many races, such as the Borg, ships are built wildly different in terms of size and technology available.

I'm looking for ideas and suggestions on how to potentially bring in ships to the game so that they have specific technology locked to them, and so that we can create specialized sections that only are allowable for a specific ship set... AKA, ships like the reapers from mass effect 3 should have specific technologies locked too them, as well as incredibly different size, armor, etc.. values from "standard" ships.

Any thoughts?
 
The most straight forward solution would probably still be to add new ship sizes with specified gfx_culture.
There are some info to get started in the readme file "common/how_to_make_new_ships.txt".
