peel off MkI ships into "Specials"

[Echo 7-7]

Make them dedicated Escorts and Interceptors.

Until they exist as such in Mod mechanics, that wouldn't be appropriate.

I vote no.

MkII ships are the "regular" ships for disco. The MkI ships are not at all comparable to the MkII ships for any kind of playability. But since they are all lumped together into the same table, new players dont really see them as different. By separating the MkI ships into their own category (and hopefully moving their sell points to guard systems) they will stand out as different from the regular ships.

TL;DR making it obvious to noobs DO NOT BUY THESE SHIPS

Superfluous. The ship pages are not hiding any statistics which might trick a player into buying a worse ship. Nothing is stopping a reader from bringing up two ships in tabs and having a side-by-side comparison.
