The Russian ships are not compatible with the originals, because they have the same ID's (at least that's what I've heard). They also have a problem that some other new models have - they have not been changed much from the original model and look almost identical.
As for other new ships, Cdr Gibs is working on a whale factory, which will be made from a T3. I would really like to see a whale factory in the game, although I always assumed that the large cargo would provide a better hull.
I think that a list should be made to contain all of the ships which we need for the game which can be reasonably made with hex editing (especially some more merchants). At least they could be a stopgap measure until the SDK or an expansion is released.
