You will see the same ship at several different locations. In all of our regions, a lot of the same ships models were selected for use. Just so everyone knows, Dex and I worked a lot on trying to make sure the same ship doesn't show up in the same area as a duplicate. But you might come across this as you're out ship spotting. We don't want to see the same ship appearing only a few ships away.
If you do, take a good look at the ships to make sure they are in fact two nearby sightings of the same ship. We can look into it and determine if the duplicates warrant a rewrite of the traffic file in that area.
This was a huge undertaking and with such a large area of coverage in each of the regions, these duplications are a possibility. But with you're help, we can remove redundant ships that appear too close together.
So get out there and spot some ships!!
