As all SLF are 3D printed when destroyed, it is just printed from a "blueprint".
Why cannot we buy multiple blueprints, and select which blueprint we want available in each available SLF slots (depending on size of fighter bay).
So how would this work?
Assuming we have a 2 slot figher bay. We call them
Slot A
Slot B
Now select Slot A, and pick from all blueprints we have bought to be in this slot.
Now select Slot B, and pick from all blueprints we have bought to be in this slot. This can be the same as the blueprint for Slot A.
If changing blueprint with a a fighter already in the Slot, we get the option to either destroy the current SLF (basically loosing a rebuild) and a new ship is 3D printed. Or if we do not select to destroy SLF, it will change upon next destruction, or changed when docking and restock the Fighter Bay.
We do not need space to store all available models, but 4-8 would be good to have. I think there currently is 16 SLF blueprints.
Also an option to delete a blueprint would be needed.
I think it would make most sense to have blueprints stored with your materials and data packages, so the same blueprints for all your ships. So the current selected blueprints is still stored with fighter bay when stored/swapped between ships.
