If this is documented somewhere I don't know where. So I'll just ask. This flag goes in a ships.tbl entry. What does it do and where in a ships.tbl entry does it go?

Edit: it's +nocreate (no space) but if you know what it does you probably know that already.

It's used for modular tables. It makes an entry be disregarded if there isn't one in the primary table, so you can modify entries without the risk of problems due to missing fields if for some reason (switchijng mods or whatever) the entry being modified does not exist in the primary table. Without it, you'd end up with the game trying to read an entry that only contained the info being modified, with bad results.
