yeah, with the blueprint list with the name of the kestrel type A, but it has the name of the mantis type A within it
also, I noticed some shenanigans can go on when you click LIST in the hangar if whatever the ship class is called is different between the two. the same goes for the description. it basically keeps cycling through nonstop like it does
with the drone control roulette in Arsenal+.:
here's an example of those shenanigans (these shenanigans are partially of my own making, and hardly reflects the mod here whatsoever)
:edit; this could probably be pretty useful if you wanted to make a mod about some ghost or mysterious type ship, so instead of a description with a bunch of question marks or random text, you could do that, but then also do this, varying the descriptions until you get something completely garbled up when hovered over. of course, you'd probably want to make the descriptions/ship class names the same length, unlike here.

yeah... nevermind. that idea didn't work. the rate at which it cycles through is too fast. maybe if I add more entr--- no, think I'll stop there. would've been cool though
however, on the "bright" side, this does make the garbling idea able to be even more garbled up:
kinda got carried away...
