New "State of the art" ships are being built using "leading edge" technology that's 20 years old. They already know the shit is inferior before they start building the first model. Seen it happen. 4X overbudget, built by nigger welfare recipients that don't understand the first thing about how the systems on the ship actually work. The military orders 20 ships and only 8.5 get finished because they have to cannibalize parts they broke from future hulls to fix the parts they fucked up on the first few. Because diversity. We are fucked.
