-This parameter if true (the default is false) indicates to the Oolite system populator (and potentially to OXPs) that they may change the weapons, missile load, equipment and other such parameters of this ship to make it better fit its role. This allows you to specify a single hull for multiple roles, and have the ship re-equipped to suit those roles. Ships intended for general addition to the spacelanes in standard roles and not intended to be significantly different in difficulty to the core ships should probably turn this on.
