If you press F2 (and possibly some other conditions might cause this?) on any ship in a mission, a couple of the ships on (at least) your side in that mission are immediately unlocked in the Codex.  Weirdly, it doesn't unlock all of them at the same time: when I say a couple, I literally mean two.  It's very strange.  This doesn't affect vanilla presently, but will probably cause problems if David ever adds wacky missions.

Thank you for the report! Huh, that's... strange. Normally they'd be unlocked if their tooltips show - are you sure it's not a case of, say, mousing over one of them on the way to another, or something like that?

[Dark.Revenant]

Ah, you are correct.  I quickly swiped my mouse across the ships in one of my missions, and it added all of them to the codex.

[Alex]

Ok cool, glad that's all that was!

[Dark.Revenant]

It's still undesirable behavior, right?  Like, anyone can just swipe their mouse across ships in a mod-added tester mission or something and spoil stuff by accident.

Hmm. "Tooltips unlock Codex entries" is just fundamentally how the new Codex works. I'd say that putting unlockable stuff in a mission - it probably means it should be unlocked by default, really, since at that point it's just a UI chore for the player to unlock it, whether they do it by accident or on purpose.

And if it's a tester mission and it can spoil stuff, then it can do that regardless of the Codex, right? My feeling is that this isn't a Codex issue, it's just doing what it's supposed to here - making already available information easier to access.
