That's what I'm saying, we share the same shipset. I need only have the same size and make the name indistinguishable and it will look like he has given me ships. After all you can't have a design with the same name as someone elses. I know because occasionally I design a ship, give it a name and even though I haven't met anyone else yet it will still say "sorry this name is taken"

If they look in the enemy designs list they should be able to see it.
Changing the SE4 font can do it too.

oh i see. They might get suspicious when they notice 2 races have similar ships with the same name.

Most PBW games have a house rule that two players can't use the same shipset.

Well in this game we have.

The thing is I have found another double set. This time the designs both have the same name and II at the end, and they can even be different sizes, I tested only to see if I could take one of the doubles change it and then save expecting it to warn me about the matching name. It didn't. I can have 2 designs of different sizes and components and they have the same name. It might get uncomfortable when someone notices and asks how I have different designs with the same name. I don't have to build them, someone will spy on me and find both designs.
