Attached parts and removed some unused ones

Are these the outdated (old) ships that were there prior to 246 and just got some plates reatached on your side?
Or are they the updated submissions that were sent after 246 update?

All 3 Marmots, for example, were broken and resubmitted with fixes.

Yeah, old ships.

Don't buy any of the Marmots please. They can't handle the 246 cargo adjustments.

I really feel like we need a better system for updating the ships we have in the shops. I'm sure many of us are trying to keep our ships up-to-date with patch changes, and I feel our reworked submissions are overwhelming the submission process (at least I assume so, as they are not making it into the build).

Thank you for the feedback! We understand that players want to update their submitted ships as much as they can.
The newest submits may not always make it to the latest patch, but we try our best to get the updated versions to the game.
We are sorry for the inconvenience!

We are always looking to improve so if you have suggestions or specific feedback in mind you can reach out, for example in the #alpha-feedback channel on Discord.
We want to make the whole process as smooth for both players and developers as we can.
