after using the new patch which wks great i have a few little susgestions cud u alow the fuseweapon to use a type of replacementkeepname command were the weapon randomly selects on of the selected ships names to use for the fused ship. also for the upgrade use could buildtime be added and the build effect (welding sparks) to take place around the ship (cacoon for 8472)

optec wanted the exact same things  i tried to implement the build-spark feature, but it seems not that "easy" though we have an experimental "buildtime" (without sparks or animations) implemented in the dev version.
animations like the cocoon are another thing, but they should be easier to do than build-sparks.
