Upgrade replaces Mega-Density Fuel Cells with Fuel Cells v2

Playing as the Ackdarians, I’ve acquired from the Haakonish, through intelligence missions, the tech Compressed Fuel Storage, which gives me access to the Mega-Density Fuel Cell component. Which is superior to the standard Fuel Cell v2 component, as this screenshot attests:

Yet, when using the Upgrade button from the Designs window, to upgrade one of my designs that already includes Mega-Density Fuel Cells, they’re replace with the inferior Fuel Cells v2.

To reproduce the problem:

* Go into Designs, and make sure the current filter is Active Buildable Designs.
* Select the only active Frigate design: FRG-FLT Osprey IV.
* Open it and notice that it’s currently using Mega-Density Fuel Cells.
* Close the ship designer window
* With the Frigate design still selected in the *Designs* window, click on the Upgrade button
* Notice that the Mega-Density Fuel Cells have been replaced with Fuel Cells v2.
