Yep. I was disappointed when it told me that lasers were the weakest weapons when I'd already researched them. But now I know that I can fit more on my ships than, say, mass drivers. And I have some specialized gunboats with stingers

Being able to select individual ships within a fleet and use their features e.g. upgrading/destroying would be nice. I hate using movement points just to separate ships from a fleet to tweak them. Also, it would be really nice if we could attack a planet with multiple fleets, like if you have 4 transports but only 10-13 logistics points per fleet.
Um, it didn't quite work. I renamed my ships then deleted the duplicate files, and when I loaded my game I just got the same thing, but with the new ship names too.
In my starbases' construction menu, there are multiple names for some ships, and the only difference is that the portrait is in a different orientation. How can I have it show each ship just once? They're my custom ships by the way.
What's the use of starbases? I've been playing on a Gigantic universe with common habitable planets, so maybe they're for when you need to extend influence and have no planets to go to? Seems like what might be helpful in a universe with uncommon habitability.
