Bloody annoying ship design bug.

from GalCiv2 Forums
Okay, so sometime sI'll design a ship style. Later, when I've teched up, I go back to that ship and edit its modules, sticking more weapons on and that sort of thing.

And the game doesn't really "overwrite" the design, instead it makes another one. And while in my production menus I only see one version of it, it acts like there are multiples. So, when I tell a planet to produce the ship, sometimes they will produce the older, obsolete models of the ship.

IT IS INFURIATING.

Is there some way to get around this?

Yes, it's a workaround. You can totally avoid the problem by always giving an updated ship design a new design name, then OBSOLETE the old design.

Another good thing to do, is if you upgrade an inidivudal ship, then rename it also so it has a the name of the new design in it's name.

eg: Upgrade a ship called Razor MK2 536 from the Razor MK2 design to the Razor MK3 design, it will still be called Razor MK2 536. Instead rename it to Razor MK3 536.

These two steps take a little extra time but It is worth it to keep your designs organized.

Has anyone else noticed that they suggest renaming the new ship design, but if you do then you dont get the screen right after you save the design were you can upgrade all your current ships to the new design.
