How to keep a ship design from game to game?

March 22, 2006 4:06 PM from

Hi, I am playing v.1.0x.2 and really enjoy the ship design but wish I could keep a design from game to game (like a base-line ship that I can outfit with different modules and stuff as I get more tech). It'd really save time for me not to design a ship from scratch for every game.

The answer was probably posted before but I didn't find it when ran a search on it. Thanks.

design and save your ship without any modules (no weapon, no engine, no lifesupport, etc. just design how it looks, a Mk0).
since this ship has no tech requirement, it should show up in your new games when you have meet the Hull requirement. Just "Upgrade" it with stuff based on your current tech and save under a different name ( v2, or Mk3, or a completely different name, its up to you)

I'd like to be able to re-use the existing designs (which do not allow you to "upgrade"), at least in the early games.

Nothing worse than wanting to make a better scout, only to find out you need to construct the entire thing from scratch simply because the existing scout is a core design and cannot be upgraded

Thanks for help. However I wish there was a way to put a bare-bones ship into a saved game. Though future games will be a lot more fun.
