deleting ship models?

from GalCiv2 Forums
I'm addicted to creating custom ships but I'm beginning to get annoyed about the fact that once I create one, it's there forever in all of my games. Deleting them removes them from the current game but as soon as I start a new game they're all back again. Deleting should permanently remove a ship design from all games, not just your current one. Obsolete should just remove it from the current game.

The ability to not save custom ship designs between games is a much requested one. In the meantime, go to C:\Documents and Settings\*insert user name here*\My Documents\My Games\Galciv2\ships and delete all of the custom ship files.

Yeah, sorry about that. It's something that only comes up after you play a few games, and we tended to just be making ships now and again to make sure that that feature worked. I think it should ask whether you want to delete it from all future games, at least.

I thought the DELETE button did delete the design from C:\Documents and Settings\*insert user name here*\My Documents\My Games\Galciv2\ships\. So then what is the difference between DELETE and OBSOLETE!?

Right now there basically isn't a difference except that it won't let you delete core ships. The end result is the same though. They disappear from your current game but as soon as you start a new game they're all back. Not a huge deal but annoying if you like making lots of ships

can a computer use one of your designs from a previous game?
