This new lighted cargo ship looks absolutely fantastic in NYGM! Congratulations Anvart!

BigBoyWooley's ideas for adding this ship as a neutral to countries that subsequently became Allies also works very well - good idea, BBW.

There remains, however, a difficult practical problem to consider:
If this new lighted cargo ship is added generically (Type=102) to the campaign files, then neutral countries will appear to the player as a puzzling mixture of lighted (C2Cargo) and unlighted (eg C3Cargo) ships. Even if Anvart is willing to convert all the other type 102 merchants into lighted ships, how will anyone else be able to add their own modded type 102 ships which presumably will not be lit?

To put it another way, we now have to decide whether to make all generic occurrences of Type 102 ships in campaign_RND.mis into Class NLLS ships (Anvart's lighted C2 Cargo) for all neutral countries. Moreover, all existing occurrences of the named unlighted C2 Cargo (Class=NKLS) for neutral ships are going to have to be replaced with the lighted variant (definitely).

Any suggestions, anyone? Does Anvart have any plans to make any other merchants into their lighted forms?
