Redesign Problem and Solution

[alpha2518]

So I ran into a problem with my game. I had a class of battleships that I redesigned called the Wettin. I redesigned them earlier as they came off the line so I has redesigns 1917 and 1917(a). I had 4 of them and one of them was the original, two were the 1917 redesign and one was the 1917(a). So I clicked all 4 to redesign and rebuild them all at once now that it's 1926. But only the original was redesigned and rebuilt. When I click on the others individually to rebuild them they can't see the 1926 redesign. Why? They are all the same class arn't they? Now I'm not mad as this appears to be an oversight but it frustrating since they should all be able to be rebuilt into the 1926 version. But because I can't do that I now have to redesign these the 1917(a) version to bring that up to date...then I need to rebuild the 1917 versions into the 1926 version. This makes 0 sense and needs to be fixed at some point since I'm sure they are other more important problems.

Unfortunately, due to how the game is structured, each of those upgrades is considered a unique design. It's not something that can be changed easily either, probably the only solution would be to tell the game to treat each of those 1917 designs as a rebuild so that you could upgrade the original to the 1917 design then the 3 1917 designs to the 1917(a) design.
