I opened up my Shipyard.json journal file to find a list of my owned ships, all showing "id":0. I expected the id number to be a unique identifier for each ship model as inferred from the Elite Dangerous Journal Reading documentation (it doesn't specifically say what the id is suppose to represent, I just assume it identifies each ship model, but it does show different numbers for each ship listed in the example code so either way I was expecting different, non-zero numbers). I realized that last time I opened a Shipyard menu in game was aboard my carrier and thought maybe carrier shipyards were handled differently. So I flew to a station, opened up the Shipyard menu, and when I went back to my Shipyard.json file I found it updated with the new station info, but only listing the ship I was in - still carrying the "id" of 0.
Am I just wrong about what information a Shipyard event should contain? Should it not contain a list of all ships for sale at the last station you opened the Shipyard menu in; does it only carry info about your already owned ships? If so, where do I find the listing for the ships for sell at each station? I looked at the entry in the Journal.json file, but, as the documentation website states, it only contains basic info on the station.
