Got it, thanks.

Bug report in Gritty: if you upgrade you ships the existing armor is changed to "bunker" armor, which is 20x as strong (ie: Bunker armor is 600 points compared to 30 for the armor it replaced). This is a game-unbalancing bug IMHO.

All such designs should be considered illegal.
I have been making a patch which should be posted to PBW soon.

Oh, you are making a patch? Well, before you finalize it, there was one minor problem I found with the mod but didn't get a chance to mention to you:

The Space Yards and Manufacturing Pod all are in the same family, even though they are different sizes. This can make upgrading designs a bit of a chore, as if you don't want the biggest yard available you have to manually replace it with the one you had in the first place. How about moving the yards to separate families? (This also has the benefit of making the Manufacturing Pod more visible to players!

) Of course, if you do this, you would also want to remove the roman numeral 1 from the Manufacturing Pod so it isn't the same as the SY I...

Easy fix.

Anything else?

Well I was going to complain about the 200kT and 400kT ship hulls using the same pic, but I guess you had no choice there, seeing as you have 10 ship hulls and only 8 stock pics!

Well, for neostandard shipsets, you'll get the scout picture on the 200kt ships.
