And this is the most annoing: AI also tries to refit ships to a "new" design. Since designs are identical, retrofit fails and ship just sit on the planet doing nothing. Next turn, and then another turn... When I test AI on auto run, I had ships going this cycle for dozens of turns.

It must be fixed. Let's re-design procedure to assign new ship' design name and escape the cycle when it hapens. It should slightly improve AI performance.
