 Does that still apply if you're a megacorp building
 the hulls in-house?
  
 I always assumed the standard design discount
 represented a megacorp pumping out pre-built cookie-cutter
 hulls and then calling on low-bid subcontractors to
 actually install the working bits of the ship. The corp
 could easily stockpile not-as-yet needed hulls (especially
 in an orbital yard), only fitting these out when the current
 market called for it. Also, a certain precentage of these
 hulls (particularly along the fringes) would be
 "re-manufactured" models; hulls of salvaged or
 repossessed standard designs, with the old working
 guts removed and replaced with "as new"
 components.
