I'd guess either nothing at all happens, and the ship doesn't generate, or else there's a "glitch" that may or may not be seen by the user, or there's a CTD... but which is it? btw, these apparently are not new issues just introduced with us changing some ships, but have been in there from the get-go, so I don't think it does the CTD... Also, who knows how many WayPoints an RGG can have? I found one with 1674 of them... One RGG, that could potentially spawn every 157 hours. There could be 16 such groups running in a 3 month period of time, all with 1674 waypoints, with paths that intersect, and multiple "decision" WayPoints ("Do I go Left or Right?")

The only way I know of to check for this is to open each file individually and see what it says. However, how much more will change with the ships in the "core" of the Ultimate Edition? My current idea for a "fix" for the problem is to not specify a particular ship, but rather to call for a "Generic" of similar class.

comments?? ideas??

If these ships are non existent in the game then they probably be removed so they don't cause problems. Second would be what percentage is used to make them spawn. Just my thoughts.
