Hello!
I want to edit and upgrade all state ships myself, but I want the civilian sector to design and upgrade their ships automaticly.

After I researched the Skip Drive I mounted it onto my state ships and zoomed thru my system... but after a while I realized that a ton of civilian freighters where underway in a bulk with no skip drive - they headed for the mining stations. But with that speed they will never reach any station and be back in the next 100 years (realtime) ^^

I attached a screenshot with my policy and automation settings... can anyone hint me what I did wrong?

Thank you!

I also wonder why we have "Ship & Base Design" doubled in the policy settings?

This has happened to me with all mining ships. However, I have to say that all my freighters updated quite quickly, although a few were cruising around without a skip drive.

I think the automatic upgrade of private ships and bases always happens automatically. Regardless of the policy settings. Since you can't control the private ships manually at all.

I didn't notice that at all. Is it possible that the two settings are synchronized?

This is caused by a resource shortage. In the beginning of the game this will happen. It just takes time to upgrade all of your current ships....

This was the problem! I built too much stuff right in the beginning
Thank you very much!

Yes, they are synchronized!
