Because I've got this idea on recreating several things from the game. Maybe something from each character.
Obviously you'd have the Monado, the sword that is [spoilers] and [spoilers] and [spoilers].
But how would that work in a ship? What would you use for a hull? Which Monado? The one on the cover, the replicas or the [spoiler] Monado?
Whatever the case is though, what it should have in terms of weaponry:
The Monado
Artillery:
Monado Buster - Fires a quick beam across the enemy ship that goes through all shields. 40 second base cooldown. Should use the sounds of Shulk shouting "Monado Buster!" or something.
Guns:
Purge - Projectile that does 1 Hull damage and a lot of crew damage (Monado purge!)
Yeah not much on that front. But then there could be Sharla's Ether Rifle. Perhaps an Engi hull fashioned like a gun (reminded of NarnKar's Apeirohedron) or Gadolt's Rifle.
Sharla's Rifle
Artillery:
Headshot - 60 second base cooldown. Fires a single shot that does massive damage to an enemy ship (maybe one-shot KO). Blocked by shields.
Guns:
Metal Blast - Could essentially be a more kinetic Piercing Heavy Laser
Heal Bullet - Fires a shield-piercing projectile that heals your crew on contact with a room (is that possible or it only works with Healing Bombs?)
Headshaker - Does massive ion damage (and possibly starts fires). Used to take down shields (should be used to work in conjunction with Headshot... just like in the game)
Electric Bullet - Fires 3 shots like a Burst Laser, but it does ion damage too (so either try headshaker for massive damage or Electric Bullet if you're uncertain)
I put more thought into that one because Sharla's Arts could work in FTL. Then you have things like Melia's Empress Staff... I made a picture of it out of a Lanius Hull.

It could possibly be a Drone ship due to how Melia's summons work. So maybe up to 6 Drone slots. It also should start with Mind Control (Tranquillity!)
Empress Staff
Artillery:
Elemental Burst - Fires several shots like a Flak Artillery except it does ion damage, starts fires and stuns enemy crew. 60 second cooldown.
Guns:
Possibly none.
Drones
Summon Flare - Combat Drone. Greater chance of starting fires.
Summon Bolt - Combat Drone. Does ion damage.
Summon Aqua - Hull Repair Drone.
Summon Wind - 1-power Combat Drone.
Summon Earth - Combat Drone. Shoots missiles but slow.
Summon Ice - Combat Drone. Damages hull and stuns crew.
I also had thoughts for a Reyn-based ship with his Gunlance, but I think NarnKar is doing that (or using the Gunlance for a ship design) and I'd have little idea on what it should actually do. Then there's Dunban. Artillery obviously would be the Blossom Dance (although it would have to be timed perfectly in terms of modding the sound files and projectile speed, not the actual move in-game which requires perfect timing anyway).
You then of course have Fiora... although would her special be the Sword Drones or Final Cross in terms of FTL mechanics?
I left out his Rikkiness deliberately because he'd merely win upon starting the game
