[QUESTION] Using the 'Boss' enemy ship frame

Hey folks,

Has anyone figured out how to use the large 'boss' frame for a specific battle? I have some mini bosses I want to give more than 20 hull points to, but they won't display properly on the standard ship frame.

Any help appreciated! I have the feeling this is hard coded, from what I saw in the eventsboss.xml file.

Edit: By ship frame, I mean the frame that the enemy ships are displayed in on the right-hand side of the screen.

I'd like to manage this as well, but I suspect it's somehow hardcoded to the boss.
What I'd suggest is making a "BOSS_4" copy of one of the other phases and seeing if that brings up the correct enemy-frame. If so, perhaps prefix your minibosses with BOSS_[X]...

I'll try this after I finish the doors on this beast.
