One way to vary things a little would be to randomly adjust the mass and
cost
values up or down 1 point on
every item.

Roll 1d6:

 Roll	 Result
   1-2	   -1
   3-4	  Same
   5-6	    +1

I would put a lower limit of 1 on the results.

This would be great for campains where the players are building their
own
ships.	This way every thing would
not seem the same.
