My first question is - what's with the two versions of each ship in the holo-table? I have no idea what this is about, and find it confusing - should I be only using one of them to make changes?

With the current change I want to make - on the nose of my 300i, swapping the bulldog repeater out, and a mass driver in - I've tried it on both 'versions' of the ship in the table, but when I go to AC the bulldog is always back. I know this change is, or was, possible - because I've seen others discussing this loadout. I've tried quite a few times - anyone know the answer?

Third question - am I the only one that wishes we had a nice, simple, 2d paper-doll UI for these changes? The holo-table is cool in concept, and looks neat - but is total trash in function. It's the Virtual Boy of the SC universe..
