#Load Ship menu could cache ship names, cost and crew to avoid user wait times

Frequently I want to try a ship or two against a number of ships of a particular weight class, but because they are reloaded every time I have to wait for them to fully load before being able to scroll to the right one even when I know exactly which one I want because its position will move as other ones load. Even if actually adding a ship can't be done until everything is loaded (though that seems possible) being able to pre-scroll and select would take the edge off.
Group battles are particularly painful (e.g. 5 of this ship vs 2 of this ship)
Currently it takes around 5 or so seconds to load Fringe combat ships on my spinning rust drive, which adds up as I iterate on a design.

my current ship menu load times on my larger folders is 10+ seconds

I get around this fairly conveniently with folder arrangement , but I agree anyways
