Line 48:
* The main selling point of ''[[Impossible Creatures]]'' and its [[Mix-and-Match Critters]]. But your baddest melee creature will still probably be a demi-[[Game Breaker|lobster]].

* ''Stars!'' allows players to create unified ship and starbase designs by placing components in slots limited by number and functionality types. But no unique ships, every last one belongs to some design scheme (their [[cap]] on existing designs is rather low, which limits "[[Tactical Rock-Paper-Scissors|redesign race]]", at least until the endgame).
** [https://wiki.starsautohost.org/wiki/Operational_Stars!_by_Example#Choosing_Your_War_Strategy Here] is an example of practical design for strategy. Observe that designs look underwhelming (Defensive Station has 1/3 to 1/2 performance-defining slots unused, Peasant has half-filled slots, etc) because they are optimized for cutting costs while still doing their job.
* In ''[[Ascendancy]]'' you design a ship by placing components on the "deck map" one by one.
* The old [[Humongous Mecha]] strategy game ''CyberStorm'' allowed the player to customize their fleet of fighting robots, as well as oversee the training of their semi-human pilots.
