As far as I know, they work fine if you're on your own. If you and an
ally are fighting together, they might cause problems. But then again,
I can't recall ever testing or confirming either of this.

I have had this problem when fighting a single opponent - I don't think this
ever had anything to do with allies. I had a number of ships starting with 00n
where 0 is a digit, and so is n... and my ships were, as the Brits might say,
"well out of order". My Rushes failed to fight first, and I lost a number of
other ships to a Crystal carrier.

However, it was a long time ago now, perhaps even version 3.14 of host, and I
have no idea if it has been fixed since. Starting low codes with 100 on up
does seem to work, and I have assumed is the work around every one uses.

If this has been fixed, I would like to know too.
