You forgot one:
Hoverbikes! Paul had a contest with those and most people made 2+ of em :-)

That's the thing with fads, you can never predict what they will be. It
needs to be simple, yet easy, and still cool to succede in .space. Here's to
the next fad, whatever it is!

All good ideas. I think a combo of those would be best: Transforming
animal/bug-ships! To tell you the truth I've just been lazy. And when I have
been building, it's been of my new SHIP (there ja go Jon, someone else using
your term now :-P). And it aint gonna be done for a while, so everyone can
just wait in antcipation.
And if you do a little searching, you can find some previews of that beast.
