This is a shot in the dark, but it does sound like STARS!, a game I'm reviewing at the moment.

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.

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

your description reminded me of reunion, 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
