I'd realy want to know what was the great idea of including a custom start option in the game if it is not custom at all.
As far as it is possible to make "custom" start scripts (like pirate or yaki starts), i belive it hsould be not extremely hard to make custom start customisible. Like pick pilot race, portrait, starting property (from a list of premades or via buy and equip system - you recieve some cash and start buying and equiping ship based on race you chose before the game start). Maybe add dificulty modificators. Like start in hostile sector (which may grant you bonus starting money for example). Something like that.
Also, since there are scripts for both "all plots complete" and "enable plot in custom start" those could be incorporated and chosen at atart as well...
I'm not involved in coding, so not much i can do myself, only ideas.
[IDEA] customisible custom start.

The Custom Start script for AP lets you configure starting money, ships, reputation, exploration, HQ. There's a planned enhancement for placing stations.
