Trying to Build Ships Using Multiple DDs/Roles

[Tampa_Gamer]

I am now getting to the point where I am utilizing DDs in multiple roles so I have specialized designs. Unfortunately, when I am in the shipyard screen they are not all showing up in the pull-down menu (only the latest designs are - despite all of them being non-obsolete). Is this intentional or a potential bug? Is there another way to access the "full" list of potential designs to build? I tried the "order screen" as well as the buttons beneath the actual shipyard, but they are not shown there either. What controls which designs are shown?

It works fine for me, Tampa. Are they also absent from the right-click build menu? I would assume so as I get them in all the build lists.

Are you using the 1.5.0.1 beta patch or the 1.5.0?

You should have access to all of your non-obsolete designs if you go into the construction yard interface (F10) and by selecting the yard itself and right-clicking (which isn't convenient if you're building more than one). If you're not seeing your ships, make sure that your design is not larger than your maximum ship size or contain tech you don't have (only likely to happen if you imported the design).

1.5.0.1 beta patch - but this one is truly pilot error.

I appreciate the fast reply - and you nailed the issue. What I did was use the upgrade button without drilling into the design to see if it exceeded my max build size. The original did not, but wouldn't you know it - when it upgraded components it exceeded the build size by 1 point. Hence the reason it was not showing up in any lists. Thanks

A lesson most of us learn from experience.
