I was checking the designs in a fleet of the Gizurean Horde, and there's something pretty peculiar in there. Not sure what impact it has or doesn't have on the game, but the retrofit path for their Chodan V frigate is to retrofit to a miner !

Later in the game, when looking at the design for one of my existing exploration ships (Tired Smuggler; Ex-3 Pathfinder v5 design), it shows a fuel tanker for its retrofit path !?!

EDIT: After closing and relaunching the game, now the retrofit path is correct ?!?
