Civilian ships were a missed opportunity

• The player could have started in civilian ship A through D, and done taxi missions to make money in one system, getting to know the ins and outs of missions and landing.

• The player could have upgraded to the tour bus and that would have been an opportunity to teach the player how to hire a second person to work for you.

• Then, when the player wanted to do local trading, they could have purchased a civilian mass transporter or short-range transporter. The player could learn how to use the map, inventory, and other basic stuff.

Instead these ships are only flown by the AI, and contribute nothing to the economy simulator.
