idea for SB

so it is impossible to use ships in SM2 in SM3 due to compatibility issues. BUT would it be possible to somehow incorporate all the versions into one shipmaker with tabs? so one tab has SM2 one has SM3 etc. you could just add a tab for every build. I don't know how hard this would be to do though, I'd think you could just end to end the code somehow but I dunno. and of course there are probably some things that could work in the SM2 section that it doesn't have right now, like the screenshots and things.

What exactly would the benefit of this be?

Not needing to redo all your older ships?

Um, but why wouldn't you want to? The transition between SM1 and SM2, and SM2 and SM3 is astronomical in terms of features and customization.

Ah. OK. I didn't know it was that big a difference. My bad.

this would just make it easier to transfer from SM1 to 2 to 3. for instance, being able to cut and paste groups of parts

I just have the old sm2 sitting in my folder for editing the old sb2 files of ships that are too laborous to recreate in sm3.
