I would disagree. This is not a bug, the algorithm generating shipyard ships is working as intended. I know that if you load up with OXPs there is a chance of not being able to sell the Cobra at Lave and downgrade to something else, but that's part of the deal if the player feels like stacking up their game with all sorts of additional ships.
Agreed with a_c, Oolite is not canonical in many ways nowadays. Once in a while (actually only once reported) you don't have ships, so be it. Just because somebodys OXP have problems with this issue is no reason to change the code, I would suggest to adapt the code of your own work before requesting a change.

Which is exactly what I was forced to do with FE Ships. IMO, that shouldn't be necessary, though.
Dor 'call me Grocer' Reval (a Xexedian Laver) was always considered a little backward.

Obvious you didn't read, just because of 1 reported case or your work it doesn't justify a change in the core-game.

Here's a small OXP that aims to add the expected Adder and Cobra Mk I ships to the Lave shipyard if they aren't present for whatever reason. The should be added only at the beginning of a new game, and only if they're not already there.

Link: LaveInitialShipyard.oxz.

This will only work with Oolite 1.89 and following.

Please give this a try and if it's successful in all scenarios, I'll add it to the DM.
