It is probably best to ask in lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade to look for
ship parts. My reccomendation would be to look on eBay. A lot of ship
parts get put on eBay. The other thing to do is watch for hidden 5976
River Expeditions and 6493  Flying Time Vessels. Unfortunately with no
sets in current production with ship parts, your task is difficult.

A fleet database would be interesting. I'd love to see who else is in
the same league as me on ships (of course for my fleet to look
impressive, one has to have an "unbuilt column"). A suggestion for ship
ratings is ship class in Evil Stevie's Pirate Game. Of course folks who
have creations which don't quite fit into that scheme would need some
help in evaluating their ships.
