General Question cloning ships in game?

[KCB]

A newbe question maybe, if I installed the same spaceship twice, just adjusting the file name somewhat, would that mean I could have two of the same ships in the game at any one time but with different skins and configs? Or for that matter, many versions of the same type of ship with unique options?
Thanks

It depends on the implementation of the vessel, but it's possible. If the vessel doesn't read its configuration file, then different parameters between different classes of that vessel would be however limited (like for example to definitions of attachment points or docking ports, if they aren't completely redefined by vessel's code).
