Have any ships come out of the concept or design of other ships?

TL;DRThey say they never drag an old ship forward, but they do experiment with many variants at the start of each ship, which Chris expects, and he then picks pieces from different versions.

Now, I look at this and I see a proto-Argo here is what I see. I see a lot of proto-Argo stuff here.

I mean, we do occasionally. I think really whenever we start a ship, we've never gone back into previous versions of things and just gone, right, that one, and just dragged it forward. That's never happened. But we do experiment quite a bit, don't we, Paul, at the beginning of a ship? Especially now that we've got our groove on, we'll do quite a lot of versions of things.

Yeah, definitely. And it's part of the process now. That's the expectation from Chris, is that he wants to see those variants, and my job and Gav's job is to basically provide variety. And then some bits he might really dislike, some bits he might really like, and he'll sort of pick a bit of A, bit of C, bit of D. And then we move forward. But when it's the new function stuff, I don't know, I find that the scariest time because I'm just like, I don't know what Chris is expecting.

It was like, how does that work?
