building new ships

how come when u upgrade a ship in the shipyard say u add a better weapon or something, then when u get your planets to build them they still continue to build the old one and you have to keep ugrading them when theyre built?

If you have a planet that is building a ship, say "fighter 1". If you go to the ship yard screen, selct "fighter 1" and click the UPGRADE button, then change its design, and new wepons or whatever. Then you save it with the same name, or even with a new name, like "Fighter 2". The planets building "Fighter 1" will all start building "Fighter 2".

Other then that it you need to tell your planets what to build, either through the starports, or the starports govenor.

I think what he's saying is the choice for say fighter 1 is still there and his new ship is there correct?

Use the global military swap in the governor tab of the civillization manager to swap your old design to the new one.
