Two Ark designs: Battle Ark and System Ark

I would absolutely go for more flexible solutions such as ARK as a selectable hull type. Since Amplitude feels that would be too tedius and marked it Out of Vision, this feels like the next best option.

I wish the devs would reconsider this. The issue they claim to have is how it piles on complexity. Well I'd like to be the one who determines if something is too complex for me. And it's not like people who want to just have one Ark type can't carry on using one design.

In fact I'd argue that persisting with this exception to the ship designer rules is actually making the Vodyani more complex to play as you have to redesign your ark each time you build or retrofit changes, just to ensure the Ark is what you actually want it to be counterintuitive to the rest of ship management.

I only want four different Arks at most. Battle Arks, Industry Arks, Science Arks and if everything is going terribly Essence Arks.
Having to micromanage each of my arks using the single profile is a pain.
