yeah, but what if you named your ship "Bob's Bucket of Bolts" even though it belonged to the "scrub" class, and it had a +50 crew, and the computer goes and renames it to "mrship003" after you retrofit it to the mrship class. the whole legend of the B3 will die out! who will remember them? who will make the movies? and what would you do about the crew with the broken hearts? sure they would still have the +50, but they would be crying on the inside.
