It actually sounded like you were missing the point.
Although, I have another question.
I've been pretty patient about this, especially since it is largely cosmetic.
But...how do you create new ship types? I mean, sure, Attack Ship, Defense Ship. What more could you want?
If you ask me, you could split those two designations into several different types, like Picket, Escort, Raider, Capital Ship, Flagship, Garrison...
So. Anyone know how to do this bit of magic?
