Hi. While upgrading, I found 2 items, exactly the same, with just a slightly different Title and one gives a small penalty. One in Propulsion and one in Armament. One is an unlock. One is not.   It's probably part of your design, but just checking it's not an item, that shoud have been remived from code  |

Confirmed, carefully balanced and crafted element of the upgrade matrix.
Not a bug, not by a long shot =)

Yup, definitely not a bug. There are a number of "similar" upgrades in different sections of the ship, allowing you to better customize your ship. If, for example, you had poor sails ratios and wanted to bump your sails up with a +25% sails upgrade, you can still do that AND get a 10 unit cargo upgrade in the armament section.
You get different penalties and advantages because of where the upgrade is bolted on. Some are deep in the infrastructure of the ship (minimal change to ship signature), but some are literally strapped onto the outside with a few bits of duct tape, causing a massive impact to your ship signature.

This was one of the most commonly requested features when the upgrade list was smaller. I did my best to make them unlock differently so that the ship upgrade path was partially open along all vectors, and unlocking them wasn't more or less critical for any one playstyle.
