1) when I click "all designs" there are at least two designs of every ship. Note this is not my new designs added to computer-generated, these are two designs created by the computer. There are two computer generated SSP-1 for example (small space port). I edited & obsoleted every design other than that which I created from scratch (is there an easier way to do this other manually one-by-one .. i.e. if I want to obsolete all escorts other than my new escort design how can I do this without having to obsolete every version twice, as the computer creates at least two versions of every single ship)? Screenshot shows this duplication, note the SSP-1 ( every single ship design has at least two sub designs, not including my new designs[which make three of some types] ). SSP-1a is my design.
2) After finally accomplishing 1) for 9 ship designs & obsoleting one excess design of the two redundant auto desings (from the other ships in which I did not design myself). I found that my "current designs" screen is curiosly bare. ONly a few designs are showing: a couple I created & a couple from the compter side, many of the designs are not listed. For examply, I have no military ships other than my transport showing, yet the "non-obsolete" shows all designs listed correctly. The game will not let me build military ships now, only the ships in the "current designs" screen are available to build. I have no idea how to move my non-obsolete designs from the "non obsolete" drop down to the "current designs" down (and I have no idea why they aren't showing up in current designs to begin with)? The design part of the galactopedia gives no information about this. I have no idea what's going on here & how to fix it?
.... did this forum recently make a change as to how large files could be downloaded? Forum would not let me download a 523Kb gif file, but I've been able to load files in the range of 600Kb before, after doing a quick check. I had to edit the image using paint.
