So i noticed a thing. For Lumeris and Vodyani in Particular, the race choosing screen has a "colony" ship. As we know, those races dont do colonies in the usual way, ergo they dont need a colony ship. 

But why for gods sake are those unique and beautiful ship designs gone? You could use them to fix another problem i have with the ship hulls:

Why are the Exploration Ship the same Design as the Military variant, but with just different slots?

Take the vodyani, the GOYAM class exploration vessel has the same exact look as the SLUYAM class military hull.

This leads to a problem (imo): The player itself mistakes his exploration and attacker ships when just looking at the silhouette. The Enemy also has the problem. And this might be fixed with "pay more attention duh"

but it is easy to overlook and annoying when done. 

I say use your ship designs you clearly have done and finished to a point and use them as the exploration hull. 

It would make the destinction of those ships easier. It would be awesome to have 1 more awesomely designed ship per race. It would make the work spend on those designs not a waste. 

Please consider it.
