While working on a new mod on 3.1 beta 7, I encountered a glitch in which,
when I tried to produce a certain unit (such as a new Cyborg template),
either from a factory or through the debug menu, it was producing a
different unit. I realized that the problem was caused by the Cyborg
templates sharing the same templateID, and quickly fixed it.
While correcting the problem, I noticed that the Super Transport currently
shares templateID 746 with SK-Retre-VTOL-Plasmite, which I assume is used
by skirmish AI scripts to build Retribution Plasmite Bomb VTOLs. I fear
that, whenever any AI tries to build a Retribution Plasmite Bomber, it
would instead build a Super Transport.
I've provided a simple patch to fix this problem, though in addition to
applying this patch, we'll need to update
http://developer.wz2100.net/wiki/TxtEditing so that people will know that,
in templates.txt, each template would indeed need a unique templateID.
