Well, I sure can use help. I've been messing with the game for a couple of days, and seem to be getting it understood. Do wish there was a better manual though that explained things clearly. Along that line, I'm sure designing one's own ships is simple, but I'm missingthe simple solution. Are there step by step instrustions someplace to design and save a ship?
I go to "new" and select a hull, and dthen add components. The total of the components is less than the space available, and then I save it. It tells me something like I can't use "core" stuff (don't remember it exactly). After selecting the hull I go to weapons, engines, defense, sensor and build the ship. I can't figure out what the second box is for. Clearly I can read what is in there, but when I select them they just move around in the box where the ship is. Somewhere there must be step by step directions.
Bottom line, I design it, it isn't overloaded, and it won't let me save it. Help.
