Likely unintentional.  The Tri-Tachyon don't spawn the Wolf either.  The regular Wolf seems to be, bizarrely, a mercenary exclusive.

Oddly, the independents have the Hyperion and Scarab, but the mercenaries don't.

Also, I don't know if it's actually affecting anything, but the variant overrides for the Luddic Path are oddly weighted at 30 instead of the usual 10.

Ooof, thank you, not sure how that even happened! Fixed up most of these (no Wolf for TT - seems like maybe not fancy enough and they have plenty of frigate options!)

That's intended, they're meant to use these more often relative to other hulls in the same roles.

My assumption based on the comment in the faction file was that simply by listing a variant in the variant overrides list, only those variants could occur.  Is that incorrect?

Yes, but the weight isn't just considered within variants for that specific hull, it's also considered across all variants for that role. So if the one hammerhead variant has weight 30, it's 3x more likely to be picked than some other destroyer that has a total variant weight of 10.

Ah.  Alright, that makes more sense.  Carry on!
