BUG AND ITS ANNOYING!!!!

Then don't do it.................

It should'nt crash. Here it gives an error dialog.

I don't get a crash, but what is annoying is that certain error dialogs from the ship designer seem to be placed into a background queue. I'll try to remove an object that still has hardpoints attached for example, and nothing will happen. I'll click again, and still nothing, then I'll figure out that something is still attached, and go about removing that and designing the ship. When it's all complete and I exit the design view back to shipyard or main map view, there's a stack of warning dialogs relating to the designer waiting for me to click through.

Additionally, the first thing I do when I upgrade a model is strip some old components. However, if you dont select a component from the build/add menu (the left pane) before trying to remove existing components, the display seems to automatically reload the design to the original state every time you click remove - so the component blinks out and right back in again.

And, finally, it seems you can't save a ship name with a period ( . ) in it. I was versioning my designs and tried to save 'Model M2.1' . There may have been an error that got added to the 'background queue' described above, I don't recall exactly.

I had this problem before the latest patch. Since I updated it's gone for me, at least so far. Did you update to 1.0X?

I have not seen this in 1.0X.

I too crash when this happens.

i get a crash too, but only if the ship with the same name has been OBSOLETED. that's the key to the crash, at least here on my end. (running 1.0X)

When nameing ships use " - " as oppsoed to " . " . Thats how i got around it. This was either prior to or during the "d" patch. Havent tried to use a " . " in the "x" patch.

Example; PT Mk-1, works fine.

Anywho it still crasher... wether or not is the exact same design or a completly other design it chashes... The name of the base design is enough! I didnt think before i named a very fast ship without weapons to Scout ..

I got the crash too (1.0D, 1 just upgraded to 1.0X).

It's a two step bug : first bug is when you save a new ship with the same name, it doesn't properly clear the old one. You can see it when using the ship list from the main screen, you have multiple instance of the same name in the list. But only one shows in the shipyard or in the ship building list accessed from the planet screen.
It's dangerous because it's easy to forget to change the name when you upgrade a design...

And when you try to obsolete them (to clear the confusion...) the game crashes.
