Default strategies for ships
 

I think I've uncovered another clue in the mystery of how ships behave.

It appears that when following individual orders (rather than fleet orders), a ship which has been retrofitted uses the strategy for its original design, rather than the one for its current configuration.

If this observation is correct, it also explains why some obsolete designs stay on the ship list long after you've retrofitted/scrapped all the old Versions; the design would still be considered "active" as long as any of the original hulls are still in service.

If that's true it's definitely a bug. Send a savegame where you think this is occuring to MM.
