Request: A way to maintain multiple designs of the same ship class.

[SereN]

A problem I have been running into lately is that I want to maintain multiple different classes of battleships in my navy fleets. Lets say Lance-Class for kinetic based, and Mother-Class for a carrier design. Unfortunately, whenever I get a tech advancement and tell the fleets to upgrade, ALL of the battleships upgrade to the new class with the highest power.

Would it be difficult to change it so that ships will upgrade to a class sharing the name if one exists? So that my Lances upgrade to Lances and my Mothers upgrade to Mothers instead of more Lances? Or is that something doable we could see in a future patch?

This is already the case, or at least it has been for me.

Your different battleships upgrade to their specific class? Strange, whenever I initiate it all of them upgrade to what seems to be whichever has a higher "power" rating...

I think this already works like the way you want...

In my experience, it doesn't work if you have a "Lance" class and the upgrade is called "Lance II" or whatever. The upgrade in that case will be to the higher power design.

But if you simply upgraded the "Lance" class in the Ship Designer, the upgrade will be applied only in the older "Lance" class ships.
