Just to bring you up to date, and pull anyone who's interested into the loop, I've made my decisions on the next changes to the shiplist.
1- I've decided on 3 years overlap for a normal refit.. 2 years when it's obvious the refit obsoletes the previous incarnation of the ship, and 10 years of overlap for X1 refits. (SFB notes state that for maybe the first 8 years, only 1 F-CX was produced per year, then it accelerated)
2- I've spotted, for the first time, Commando ships entered as "SPECIAL". I will do the same to all the commando ships elsewhere in the shiplist. This will help generate more meaningful AI ships within any game involving AIs.
3- I'll make sure any scout ship is entered as "SPECIAL" while survey cruisers are entered as their appropriate hulltypes.
I've never actually reviewed the shiplist. The task is daunting. Just to manage dates and refit paths, it takes about 2 hours of review per race. This will take some time, but the process has begun. The compare.txt generated from this will be immense.
However, I can better D2 games.. better coopace games.. and better battlefest games. The D2 will be the most affected, in a positive way.

4- Lyrans will have PFs or INTs only after 2276.
