For those out there who might find themselves scrolling up and down the ship list looking for "that" design your looking for here is a fairly simple nomenclature system I use to make such a task quicker and more efficient.

This a alpha numerical nomenclature system that is easily read and can easily me modified/modeled to your liking

Weapon designations:

B = Beam weapons

M = Missile weapons

D = Driver weapons

Defense designations

S = Shields

P = Point defense

A = Armor

For example if you had a Corvette with harpoons and the 2nd point defense then the name of the design would look something like Corvette M2P2.

you could also add a designation for the engines (E) if so desired.
