It'd be nice to be able to create a ship design, then select it and others and basically toss them into open space and duke it out.

Father Tim and someone else had replied that they use duplicate databases. Someone else (Matt?) replied it'd be a nice idea.

Using a duplicate db is nice if you are just testing the tech. But what if you want to simulate the officers too?
