Flipping cards, or buying two ships?

[The Royal Hajj]

Update: With the issues I've been having with some cards fitting poorly into the bases, I'm glad I decided not to fight with flipping.

Re deletion of customs... if the stats are different and they're clearly a different fit for the same ship (say, Ares does an official mixed-battery Egmont and we already have the 1783 all-carronade load as a custom) then can the variant stay with a note about why it differs?

As long as it is pointed out that it is not an official card, I think that should be fine. In fact, perhaps we should decide on some type of logo or change in color/design for the custom cards. That way it would be easy for players to know the difference at a glance.
