You can through the SDK. Requires C++ skillage and MS Visual C++ (you can use the free MSVC download available from Microsoft) to build or modify ships and MFD's at the code level. There are also third-party kits available such as SPSDK and a Panel SDK that allow creation of new ships/panels without needing a compiler. (those may not be compatible with the new 2010 release, though [EDIT] Or possibly even made obsolete with the new scripting interface...)

Can't wait to fly it more in-depth on my home computer; will be able to install the hi-res planet textures then. Visually it doesn't appear that much has changed. I like the new Map MFD - they updated the look and added some useful filters. This is about the best look I can get at it until tomorrow. I hope OVP will be kind to my video card, cuz it's getting a good look tomorrow, too.
