Right now with editing design and ships only able to upgrade to those within the same name line, the game is very unforgiving of any mistakes and it ends up being alot of micromanaging as you edit ships over and over again to outfit ships the way you want them to. Very very cumbersome micromanaging. 


Instead, if you choose to upgrade a ship, you can choose ANY ship design you have made within that same frame. A menu would come up listing all ship designs using that frame.  This would be an immense improvement in managing ships and their upgrades or changes.
