While I could have sworn I had read the bug was fixed, I can no longer find any message suggesting it, so I am posting it in case nobody else has encountered this bug. Since I upgraded to Beta 3, then 3A, and now 4, there has been an issue with custom ship designs. Upon reload, all components--functional or otherwise--are no longer present in appearance. While the engine speed, defense ratings, attack ratings, etc. are all intact, you cannot see any of the components. Furthermore, you cannot move the components; you can only remove them entirely and then place them back again. To clarify, when you load a game with custom ships, most (there have been a few times were older ship designs, usually 2 game sessions old, are fully intact) custom ship designs are showing only the hull and no components of any kind are being displayed in either the viewable model or the icon. This is also the case for all the ships in space and in battles. You can see weapons-fire, but cannot help but wonder where it's coming from.
Hopefully this has already been fixed. If not, I'll help out in any way I can (submitting saved games, etc.).
Cheers,
