Ship Upgrade - Name/Description

from GalCiv2 Forums
If I upgrade a ship design for the purpose of just changing a ship's name or description, why is there a cost to upgrade the ship? Nothing on the ship has changed.

You can change the ship's name without upgrading it. Just select the ship and click the 'dog-eared page' icon in the title-bar of the context box (where the name of the currently selected item is shown at the bottom of the screen).

i'm not sure, but he may have meant changing the name of a ship type. isn't what you're describing only an individual ship?

In that case, it boils down to the fact that whatever is currently on your ship only counts at partial value towards an upgrade (regardless of the similarity or dissimilarity between the current and new model).
