Why does the game force me to spend additional strategic resources on a ship when I upgrade it? if I have spent the durantium or what ever to make it, then go add some new module that has no strategic resource requirements to the design, and then subsequently try to upgrade the ship it requires me to spend the strategic resource again in the upgrade. Thus the single component is now using 2x the resource.
