Experimental Ship Designation

[oldpop2000]

I would like to recommend a check box in the build screen that designates that this design as experimental and is excluded from any treaty. However, it can only be used for fleet exercises. After its building and testing in fleet exercises, the design could then be used for a deployable ship. This might allow us to play with different designs. The catch is that the country must have the building capability for the ship.

That would only work if treaties can include a total tonnage limit for a specific type (or several). Then an experimental ship can be excluded from that total tonnage, but must remain "inactive" till the Treaty ends.
