Re: UI Glitches
Is there a reason why you would want to have the ability to add two, three, four, ten, twenty, fifty or even one hundred bridges to an Escort class vessel?
No.
Will the game let you successfully create a ship with more than one bridge?
No.
If you add more than one bridge to a ship, how many clicks will it take to remove those additional bridges from the ship without completely canceling the design:
One per ship.
Calling it a bug is analogous to calling this accidental behavior. If you don't to call it a bug and you can't provide any good reason why you would want to add more than one bridge to the ship, then you are saying that Aaron wanted the novice user to engage in the click fest that must ensue when you must remove the extraneous bridges. Calling it a bug is analogous to saying that the game is just so complex that Aaron didn't give this issue any thought. If you don't want to call it a bug and you cannot prove a useful purpose for this functionality, then the next step is to assume malicious intent by the programmer.
Personally, I would rather say this is just so trivial that Aaron didn't have time to consider it. But if you want to say that he's just a mean person, well... I think you are a mean person. :-)
