Just got the *Interstellar Destroyer* tech, which unlock the Destroyer hull. But there aren’t any destroyer design in the *Active Buildable Designs*:

If I use the *All Designs* filter, there’s only one destroyer design, and it’s the design of a derelict ship, not one from my empire (Quamenos).

That persists even after quitting the game and reloading the save.

This is the first time I’ve seen this!

And that basically make the game unplayable for me :evil: : what's the point to continue if I can't build ships using the hulls I'm unlocking?

One thing that might be related is my money situation (but shouldn’t): both my cash on hand and my cashflow are in the red. If that’s what’s preventing an auto destroyer design showing among the available design, that’s a bug. It should prevent me from building one destroyer, but it shouldn’t prevent me from seeing (or changing) the auto design for the destroyer hull.

P.S.: I also saved the latest autosave that was made before the attached save. Let me know if it’s useful to upload it.


EDIT

I've checked the installation files integrity with Steam. Four files needed to be replaced. I've reloaded the save: still no destroyer design.


EDIT #2

I went into the Designs window (destroyer still isn't among the available designs). But then I clicked on "Add New", and, lo and behold: the destroyer design is in the list! But not in designs listed in the Designs window. So at least, I can continue my game... for now...


EDIT #3

After having created a destroyer design using the "Add New" button, that design now appears in the list of active buildable designs. So using the "Add New" button is a workaround. But that's s still a bad bug, especially for a new player, who might not think of using the "Add New" button...
