Ship quality and quirks

I began writing an aging table for ships of different quality levels. Excellent ships last far longer then poor ships, they may be cheap but they age fast, pay them off and flip them to some other loser before they fall apart. I didn't like having the aging just being a numbered column so I decided to name the age classes like a used starship salesman might.

So here is the list in order from 1 to 10 : “Like New”, “Broken In”, “Mature Design”, “Proven Model”, “A Classic”, “A Real Classic”, “Well Preserved”, “Vintage”, “Antique”, “They don’t make them like this anymore”

10 for an average quality ship is anywhere past 150 years. For a ship built prototype technologies anything over 34. By the time they get to 10 people will be saying "I didn't think any of these were still flying" and "I am NOT travelling on that death trap".
