Hilarious situation if there is ever one!
Confusing stock-made ships can be fun at times but consider this, also;
- In a swooping type of mood for fleet upgrades, i once started to create a whole armada of brand spanking new Hyperwarp-driven specialty ships. Only to screw a category enough so that it showed up as a
pseudo-cargo when it really was a simple survey thingy, but much faster. So there i was, looking AT my top-notch
cargo for a few months waiting for some opportunity to make good use of it.
All the awhile, a series of anomalies spawned all over the map. I still had my initial-slick-type-surveyor sloooooooow edition (identical in both shape & name, btw) and went for everything as fast as i could (Who can seriously reject a few bonuses? Free!). When all was done and over, every other AIs had picked up more than 80% of that treasure. And the very much faster surveyor/champion of all was still gloriously parked on some orbit somewhere, somehow, patiently waiting for key-cargo to load up and spread around... eventually.
- Duh.
So, if you design some faster ships,
do me a favor &
do something else while you're at it; put a big-fat-huge set of winglike structural elements on that hull to make it
graphically stand-out from the rest and please, give it an obvious
unique tag-name too... so you could FIND the darn thing if need be, when and then!!
