I checked and sure enough, the Corvette Sub Chaser has the Stock game icon for the unit on the Nav Map. It will be corrected.

Although, I'm not opposed to going back to the original Stock ship icons for the Nav Map for ALL units. I've often wondered why wouldn't a player (especially a new player) not like the original icons for the Map, and when your tired of knowing what direction the ship unit is in just by a glance at the Map, you would simply "enable the No Map Contact Update" in the Gameplay Options and not have any kind of icon showing?? Causing you to actually "plot" a ships course as it would have been done in real life??

Anyway, with over 250 ship units in Ultimate, we apparently missed one!?!

As far as the Bigger Better Protractors, you'd better keep the mod in the game as long as you're playing Ultimate v0.71.....I checked, our next version 0.72, will include the mod from White Owl; but v0.71 does not.
