The pics should be a manual thing not a production page thing, but maybe have a small icon sized pic for the ship on the production page (that you can turn off if you’re still on stone age dial up).
I say this because I would rather see sketches of the ships, and cross sectional opened up views etc as opposed to 3d stuff which kinda ends up looking the same as the next ship. Also more backgrounds on the races etc like warhammer 40k does, snippets of stories and whatnot (I don’t actually play 40k but its one thing I find impressive)
I just think it adds more fun and depth to the game
