Auto upgrade of ships...

[Jorgen_CAB]

Could we in the next major update have so we at least can have the AI auto upgrade ships to the next version of the same type of ships within each class. Such as a Fleet Frigate upgrading to the next Fleet Frigate. The way that things work right now makes it very limiting in the way you can allow the AI to handle upgrading ships.

I feel that it is a lost opportunity to not allow us to do this automatically but force us to do this manually as it is very tedious to do so.

On every design there could just be a checkbox whether it should upgrade to the latest version of that class or to the latest version of the same type within that class. With this I would have the choice of upgrade my Heavy Frigate to the next version of the Heavy Frigate or to the latest Frigate class that I designed.

Better use of the variants, including upgrades, has been in the TBD list for a while, even back in the Beta. It is planned but not sure when.

Yes this please this , its so infuriating manually designing ships every upgrade, just give an option to auto upgrade to new components in the same path. or better give a function so that we can lock components that we do not want upgraded while the unlocked components get auto upgraded by auto refit.
