This is a shot in the dark, but it does sound like STARS! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stars!), a game I'm reviewing at the moment.

[nylarlathotep]

looks close but thats not it as far as i rember. it acualy has ship graphics. good try though its going to drive me nutz for the next cupple of weeks till i forget about it then when i see somthing i;m going to start wondering

[Eagle of Fire]

There is ship graphics in STARS!, but you only see them in combat or when you design those ships.

Activate your PMs and send me a message if you wish to continue on this path.

I'm going on a long run by saying Stelcon 1, 2 or 3.

Unlikley, but your description reminds me of

Something tells me that it may possibly be one of the Star Command games, perhaps Star Command Revolution or Star Command Deluxe.

The original star control?

[_r.u.s.s.]

your description reminded me of reunion (http://abandonia.com/en/games/150/Reunion.html), but i don't remember if there's multiplayer or not

anyways, once you get a hint of a game on abandonia you can always look into "simmilar games" at bottom

[angry axe]

yep definitely sounds like star control 2 http://www.abandonia.com/en/games/144/Star+Control+2.html

There was a shareware game that allowed you to use modules on your starship, but I primarily remember that to be a trading sim, It's on HoTU, or on here, or both, I forget where I saw it last.

A game I used to play awhile ago that sounds extremely similar to some mentioned here.
