'Snapshot' copies of NPC ships & stations?

[Thundercraft]

I was thinking it would be nice to be able to copy a specific NPC ship or station. I do realize that we can visit a faction's shipyard where we have the option to build a new ship in one of three "styles" of the faction. However, I don't believe that is the same as creating a perfect duplicate.

 

That is, I'm thinking of the ability to select an NPC ship or station and pressing a key combination (like [ctrl]+[F7] or something) that would create a new blueprint in our /ships/ folder - automatically named "npcship1.xml" or "npcstation1.xml" or something. We'd still have to expend the required materials and credits to make them of course. I'm just talking about the blueprint.

 

Good idea? Bad idea?

Could be useful.  I do like some of the station designs.

I like this idea too, it could be a method to gain designs as if it copies it to your saved ship folder or one dedicated to copying ship designs you've acquired.  it could be for "immersion" for some.
