Thats not all you'd have to do. Instead of keeping track of 1 ship and
radnomly generating the others based on preset parameteres, you would have
to dynamically keep track of countless players. Also you would have to
entirely scrap the date system. Many other problems crop up too. This has
been discussed ad nauseum and I don't know why people keep bringing it up.
Yes, it would be cool and I'd like to see it, but it ain't happening.
