> no blueprints carried forward between saves

I use exactly 3 exceptions between saves:

1. First generation ship to just get me to space

2. Second generation ship to get me to the other planets

3. Third generation ship to get me to the Shattered Planet

Everything else, I'm with you. I don't use blueprints between saves.

With how much of a pain it is to deal with building in space, I'd rather just use the same blueprint.
