"Maru" was very often used as a suffix on Japanese mercantile class ships, such as transports and convoys. The word essentially means 'circle' and it was used on civilian ships for a kind of 'bon voyage' sentiment. The word was attached to a mercantile ships named effectively to ensure it would have a 'round trip' and make it back in one piece. -
The hull selection definitely is the most restrictive element of the designer right now. I can understand that there may have been technical limitations that prevented the full implementation, but the few presets we have really limit the ship designs possible. Even allowing an increase in width would allow a lot more freedom then we currently have. Otherwise, I'm really happy with how the ship designer has turned out!
