 *Finding the name: some oxp's contain more than one of a specific item - for example, the Behemoth.oxp contains lots of ships. These include both general Behemoths of types 1 - 4 and several dozen named Behemoths of each type. Identifying for a named Behemoth ("behemoth-argus") works. Identifying a generic type ("behemoth-type1") does not.
