Fyron, why is it a problem?

The game allows the retrofitting an existing ship in mothball status.

It also allows the construction of a new ship in mothball status.

Both are unrealistic, although the latter much more so (which may be your issue).

But the game does allows both although both are not factually based in real life.

If we do not like it, it is the coding which should be changed.

That is where the issue becomes gamey, really. I have already stated why I consider it a problem several times.
