 <b>SUNSKIM-TRADER:</b> This is just a variation of a trader. It is only used to select sunskim-capable ships from the installed ships. Once selected, it is assigned a normal "trader" role in game.

 <b>CARRIER:</b> The role 'carrier' was used in the past to define a ship as being a carrier. This role however is deprecated in favour of the shipkey 'is_carrier'. and should no longer be used.
-<b>Carriers</b> should be given a customAI. But really it's not a good idea to call carriers by a standard game role as they’ll get launched and get stuck. You’d need to give them a custom AI and it would be better really to place them by script.
