Default When does haveshiprace trigger?

The questions are really intended for Fingers, but anyone who knows the answers (or a partial answer) should feel free to jump in.

When does haveshiprace trigger?
Does it need an encounter or homeworld trigger?
Are there other CONDITIONs it works with?

I'd previously thought it triggered as soon as you have a ship of the given race, but either that's not true or I have something else going wrong in this quest. Currently I've got it's only CONDITION being haveshiprace garthan, and yet no matter how many times I pick up the Bloodfang, nothing happens.

I think it only ever triggers from an encounter in the game, right? I've found that many things will only trigger when you arrive at a planet. It'll do the same thing if you wait for two variables to be set. It won't actually check them unless it's waiting for you also to explore a planet or something. I wanted to make a device that would flip a variable, and have that do some things that would utilize conditions. No dice

Haveitem checks fairly often. Add or remove a thing from your inventory, and it notices right away. I'd assumed haveshiprace did the same, but it doesn't seem to be the case. Fingers, if you're listening, I'd still be thankful for any further insight you can shed on this.

Well, the good news is I figured out a work-around that allows for much of what I wanted to do.

The bad news is there's a few things I'd planned that just won't work any other way. As such, I have to abandon them for now.

Man, do I wish haveshiprace could just trigger on it's own.
