Prototype or Test Bed Ships

[Suribachi]

With the new flaws system out now, I think there should be a way for players to mitigate the flaws, especially in newer technologies.  One of the ways I think this can be done is with a prototype ship, or in simpler terms, a ship that is built for the sole purpose of shaking down and exposing issues with new tech.

Example:  Your nation has just unlocked Electric I turret tech.  You build a new ship, or refit an old one, with the tech then have it sail around for a while.  When the ship next docks, the crew provides feedback to the ship designers about what does and does not work resulting in fewer flaws when that tech is implemented in the future. 

Obviously, this would be mostly invisible to the player beyond maybe an objective to have the test ship sail X amount of distance and a popup that flaws have been reduced by a certain amount when the objective is complete.  In no way should this take out the risk of flaws entirely, only to cut down on the chance of them happening.
