<t> I am not sure if this has been mentioned before, but in DW, whenever I order a fleet to attack, say, enemy's colony, the ships in the fleet do not jump at the same time. Instead, they jump one by one and get slaughtered by the defenders as they reach the destination. In Sins of Solar Empire ...

It would be nice if the design list wouldn't cover just recent designs, but all non-obsolete designs. <e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>

Agreed. But from what I understand from Elliot's post above, all non-obsolete designs will be tagged as active/'recent ...

Happened to me as well. This is presumably a bug, then?

<t> I'm still biased toward treating 'roles' in-game as 'classes' in practice. This stems from the use of frigates, destroyers, cruisers, etc. as different ship classes in real life. The classification established by the game seems to mix up classes and roles. <br/>

US Navy had DDE, which ...

Elliot, that's brilliant. Exactly what we need! [:)]

And Happy Easter!

As suggested by Webbco and supported by others:

All ship designs that are manually created should ALWAYS be a buildable option on the right-click menu, unless marked as obsolete.

Great minds think alike! [:D] I'm sure the solution you mentioned above will work like a charm ...

<r> The following would make the game much much better in its ship designing aspect:
<UL><s>[ul]</s><LI><s>[*]</s>Allow multiple designs to be treated as 'recent designs' for each role, which current ships of the same role will have the option to retrofit to. For instance, as of version 1.02, if I ...

Well for our non-American friends out there, the US designations could be confusing. The United Kingdom, for example, tends to classify ships by function rather than by size as seen in the US system. This is why the UK Type 22 Broadsword class ...

<t> Is there any plan to change that? I always have sub-sub-roles for my ships. For instance, I normally use more economical, all-rounder frigates in large number to form the bulk of my fleets early on for both protection and planet invasion, but I also have a smaller fleet of assault frigates ...

<t> I was a little confused about how the game handles retrofitting, so I did the following test.<br/>
<br/>
I started a new game with ship design automation turned off. I created two new escort designs, the first one being smaller in size (called 'Saber') and the later being bigger ('Gladius ...

I built three defense bases around my home planets (did so by right-clicking the planet itself) but once new technology appeared, I only had the option to scrap them. Is this intended? I thought, based on what you mentioned in above post, I would be able retrofit these bases ...

<t> Sorry to bring up this topic, guys, but I'm still wondering how others easily and quickly identify their various ship classes. I tried to follow the method in the first post, but I found it to not work smoothly with how the game handles design names and I ended up manually naming my designs from ...

<r> Hi peeps,<br/>
<br/>
Just got into this game and only had three hours run so far, but one of the issues I personally found was to keep track of all my military assets. To solve this issue, I am considering to establish ship hull designations based on the ships' classes and roles similar to ...
