Search seems to be broken for me so I don't know if this is a common issue. Just started playing again after a long absence, started the DA campaign, have no user ships yet and tried designing one (a colony ship with extra support modules after researching the first level of miniaturization)
No matter how I resize or orient the modules, the ships don't save that way. They revert to default size and positioning so everything on that colony ship is smaller and crooked, after I carefully resized and reoriented them before them saving. I tried enlarging the colony module, didn't work. I tried changing it's angle because it was crooked when first placed, didn't work. I added extra support modules, most didn't show even though the range stat shows they're there. I tried making a New ship instead of using a Template, didn't work.
I don't know why the ship won't save the way I want it to?
