The super aggressive one that I ran into before, which was also my creature Froglok, was using my Death In Space spaceship. These two other friendly empires I've encountered are using my Paladin ship I just created the other day and am currently using.

What the heck happened to using from the whole pool of existing creations? Why is the game gravitating to using my stuff?

And the game seems to lean towards more towards peoples creations instead of Maxis.
