I'm not sure how the developers created some of the special ships, like Colony Ship, but they do not seem to react well to upgrading. For instance, the Colony Ship has a special attribute "Colonize" associated with it, but does not have a Colony Module on the ship. Does that mean that the whole ship is specially designed for colonization and doesn't need a Colony Module? Also, if I make the initial Colony Ship design Obsolete, it disappears from the list and I can never create another Colony Ship design. Same goes for Transports.
Shouldn't these be HULL TYPES instead of special ships? Alternatively, could these designs be based on a Cargo Hull frame with the appropriate components? I don't understand why these ships cannot be recreated by the player using the basic hulls and components available.
Any clarification on this would be appreciated.
