Yeah, it is a UI problem rather than a bug - usability issue. When you have 2 ships of the same type there is no visual indicator that you have switched ships on the Home page - you have to switch over to the Equipment screen to see any differences (for instance I have 2 Basic Cutters, one has cannons the other doesn't, both look identical on the Home screen) so there is no indication that I've switched ships).
There is a bug that contributes to this, the hover menu that shows the stats is identical for all ships - I have a Basic Cutter, a Trader Lynx, a Rattlesnake, and the rt-click stats hover menu is identical for all of them - though they have different red and green numbers the black numbers are all identical.
