Maybe I'm just missing an unintuitive or non-obvious bit of the interface, but near as I can tell there is no provision in the ship editor for loading an unfinished ship that you were previously working on. I'm looking in the My Documents\My Games\GC2TwilightArnor\ships folder, and my ships are all there. But when I boot up Twilight and enter the ship designer, none of them appear in the User tab. I even opened up the XML files and they're not corrupted, everything looks as it should be. And yes, I've checked every single tab. They aren't there.
Any idea what's going on? The buggy way GC2 does or doesn't show user-created ships seems to vary from day to day, and it is nearly frustrating enough to turn me off of ship design altogether.
Edit: I found the problem. Apparently the ships you design /only/ appear if you select, when entering the ship designer, the exact same "style" that you did when you originally started creating it. Which basically means that if you weren't trying to design for a particular style and picked one at random, there's no way of loading that ship short of remembering what style you picked. What an incredibly aggravating limitation.
