Is anyone having trouble designing ships?

My designs seem to, fall apart....

Just got the game today, tried to design a ship, and what happens? Just as i'v got it looking like i want i save it, look at it in the ship menu, and half of its gone. Has this happened with anyone else?

What version are you using? If you haven't updated to version 1.1 yet, please try that.

If you have already done that, or the problem continues, please post the contents of your debug.err file. This file can be found in your galciv2 program folder (usually c:\program files\stardock\totalgaming\galciv2)

Thank you.

If you are using the new patch, make sure that in the options under "Interface" and "Ship Designer", you
uncheck "remove functional components." Otherwise when you relook at the ship, say under "upgrade" you
will be missing the components.

I don't know if this solves your problem.

ManOWar2,

Select one part, re-size it and rotate it, then attach it to one side of the ship.

Select that same part from the component list, the new part will now have the same size and rotation of the part you just added.

Move it over a hardpoint on the other side of the ship and you will see the part snap to it. Sometimes, this is enough to get a symmetric look.

If it is rotated in a different way, try right-clicking on the rotation dials. This will flip the component over that particular axis.

Hope that helps.
