Ship class 800 upgrades to ship class 1700, which is null.

Ship class 800 upgrades to ship class 1700, which is null.

This class is only used in EOS family scenarios - although the class definition is present in all. It should upgrade to 0 = itself. It is a rearmed class 135 - small AK. In RHS the basic historical ship gets a short gun - but in EOS it gets a nice three inch AA gun.

This issue is not present in Level 5 or Level 6 - where the massive work to convert to a different class was never done - and where this variant was not defined - even for EOS family scenarios. It only applies to Level 7 EOS scenarios. And it will be fixed in the general update we will release shortly.

witpdecoder throws up on anything that upgrades to 0. So I set it to upgrade to itself.

I used to do that - but other error checkers and programmers think this is wrong - so I have converted all back to 0. Apparently it speeds up turn execution by avoiding error trapping routines if you use 0 as a pointer. It means "skip this record when looking for an upgrade"
