Would anyone be interested in the idea of Prototype/Hidden Ships?

What about large custom ships that would have to be crewed by a full wing compliment? say for one off special missions.
Have a crew of 5 or so, deciding who is cmdr of the ship would be whoever chose the mission, then asign the crew to your ship. Gunners or even co-pilot.
The ships would of course only be avaible for certain missions.

now thats the future right there....aswell as planetry lanings and all that it possibly involves.
Custom Power designs are a good idea. As well as some powers favoring weapons and producing different weapons than others.
I would also like the idea of Shipyards (not the ones we have now, which are not shipyards, only ship "dealerships"), where ships are produced and exported to other nearby worlds, and maybe you wouldn't find easy access to that ship if you're pretty far from that sector.
And the same can be said about weapons. For example: Eranin has a Plasma Cannon Factory in one of its worlds. It produces X cannons per day, exports part of it to nearby worlds, where you can also buy plasma cannons. It would also be nice if players could move (buy and sell) those cannons around and make a profit, while supplying far away systems with them. That would give you a reson to travel around and a place where you know for sure that you can find certain module or weapon. It would also bring module stock variables, and strategic importance of planets with factories on orbit.
Aahhh nevermind, just mumbling... too good to be true

Yes. Millitary prototypes
Follow a linked series of missions for the Navy to get to the final 2 or 3 missions where you are given a prototype ship that you will need to complete them. You don't get to keep the ship afterwards though

It worked for X and was fun.
But the amount of time it takes them to make the ships it wouldn't be doable.

Okay, to expand on the OP's idea...
.
"You check the Shipyard and see this mysterious ship, price is reasonable and it looks good. Bit of investigative reading tells you that it has new hybrid weapons and an enhanced shield system that is far superior to what is commonly available. It's thrusters and FSD drives give it far better speed and range than anything else out there.
.
Then you notice that there is no insurance on this ship and it clearly states there is no others available. So if you buy it and then lose the ship, that's it, it is gone."
.
Do you still buy it and use it for as long as you can?
.
Do you buy it and just store it at the Station hoping more will be released so you can get a replacement?
.
Don't buy it, but wait outside of the Station waiting for the Commander who does, just so you can destroy it?.
.
What will be your decision????

you know what i want to see.....someone doing battle-like a big one with 10 20 ships or something-THEN out of nowhere pops out(kinda like the faction big ship appearance style but even more unique) this massive ship covered in weird material/lights/weird shape and even more weirder sound of engines
it stops with a strange roar of unknown type booster technology and starts unleashing hell on everyone in that zone...after killing everyone it makes more distinctive strange sounds and literally just cloaks itself into invisibility
