Do you do the ship or base start, I've done the ship mostly, but I think I'm going to try the base next.

The first few times I just started with the ship. I did start one with the base, and once I got the shape I liked, I started disemboweling components from the base and moved it to the ship til I left an empty base.
Solar is great, I saw a design that a guy did a complete solar ship, with massive amounts of panels, the only problem is that you need to make sure you drop close to the sun or you'll brown out.
I've done a hybrid, my monstrous ship has 4 generators of the mid sized variety, and then solar cells to provide a power boost when they get sun.
