Ok, if you are like me, you like spending more time playing the game rather than designing your own ships. Of course, at some point, you will need to go into the ship design depending on your current circumstances. What I would like to be able to do is take a core design (with all the extra bits) and tack on what I need. For example, in some of my larger games, I take a constructor and tack on an extra engine to cut down on the distance factor. If I click on a core design and select upgrade, all the extras are removed and I start from scratch (Beta 3 Version). If I click on a user design, the extras stay, and I can modify what I already have. Any opinions on the subject?
