[Atrocities]

Ship Construction Idea:

Have the option for ship designs in the vehicle text file as we do for components. This way a ship may have multiple Version of its class and the obsolete Version can be hidden from view like Components.

Example:

Escort I
Escort II
Escort III (Or listed as Heavy Escort)
Escort IV (Or listed as Heavy Escort 2)

When Escort II becomes avaible then Escort I is not longer shown in the Vehicle Type window unless the player wishes to see it by turning off Only Current Designs.

By having this feature players could add several levels of ships to one class. Each class could boast additional improvements like stronger hulls, more KT, etc without having to go to a new class or have your ship list window filled with ships.

This would keep the ship list window neat and orderly while providing an extra level of moddability to the game.

The current ship lists would remain. Escort, Frigate, Destroyer, etc, but with each of these a player can add mulitiple design types in addition to new hull design types like Cutter, Scout, Juggernought.

If a player wanted to they could have 3 levels of Escort hulls, 3 levels of Frigate hulls, etc. Each hull being gained at X tech level or something.
