Ship Building Bug???

from GalCiv2 Forums
Ok not sure on this one.

When ship building, why is the low tech stuff nice and small, efficent looking, for example Impulse Drive II, but then when you get the to higher tech Impulse III, there is no better performance, the thing is suppose to be smaller but its huge when placed on the ship, around 3 times bigger.

Same with lasers etc, is this a bug and the tech are the wrong way round?

Also, where are all the core ships? I get a defender and Star Fury and nothing else till a Phoenix?

The physical 3D size of the components is purely cosmetic. You can adjust the size of the component you are placing down with the slider in the main window, making it as small or large as you like. This way you can design your ships appearance to your liking.

The core ships are not very useful, and are pretty much placeholders. Always design your own ships to tailor your needs at your present time to offset your adversaries.

I dont mind making my own ships but the trouble is, the next game I play all these different ships show in the tech tree decriptions and it gets crowded. I cant even delete these ships until I get up to the required tech level either.

Really needs some form of custom editor to delete all ships, even ones not available at the time.
