I've also done saves from port (standing on the bridge, not in the office) and the ships themselves are different when encountered in the same positions.

Interesting. I always do a save at the start of every patrol when I'm still at the dock and before I give the first command. Reasoning that should I come across something cool and unusual, like a task force, and I'm too far away to catch it, I can start again and alter my beginning course so that when that same task force pops up again, I can be in position to catch it. But perhaps that reasoning is flawed, and maybe that task force won't be there the second time around. I wonder if anyone knows for sure?
