Here's another tidbit for everyone... If you don't like an existing classification code and/or name you may use the CLASSIFY command to reclassify the existing definition (without DECLASSIFYing it first). You may NOT change the design specs (rating) of an existing code but you MAY change the code of an existing rating.
For instance, if you decided that you don't like the code FX for your empire and would rather use C10, you might rename it using a command such as:
This can be done even while ships exist with that design. They will simply have their classification code changed and will otherwise continue as before.
One thing this also means is that you cannot have two classifications with the same design - the new name will instead be applied to the old classification (and any ships). So if you're meaning to create a new design you might first check to make sure that rating is not already in existence or else you'll be renaming the old design.
