Where do you see this? I can't find it in the Help, though that is nearly meaningless, but I also never noticed this in game play.

And no ... it's not in the list.

I agree with micha: a tactic, not a bug.
magic9mushroom wrote on Thu, 14 August 2008 11:06 | That's a bug, right? Why isn't it in the Bugs list? I mean, it doesn't make any sense in military terms that a new ship class would be mistaken for an old one.
|
Remember that it works only with the same hulls. So it's no new ship class but the same class with modified equipment. And if we really care about it... it's absolutely understandable that such a ship can't be correctly identified before seeing the differences close up in combat.
Ths I wouldn't spam the bug-section with this feature.

Yes, you are reading that correctly. The only exception is if your opponent is a WM, in which case he will always see the correct design.
The correct fleet mass will always show in the fleet summary pane.
