Beta 2A Bug with custom race ships

I found if that you make a custom player race that you can not create your own ship templates, but you can if you make a custom opponent.

There's no need to specify templates for the player--you're free to design ships as you please in-game, unlike the AI which has to pick from a pre-defined set of templates to put parts on.

Unless you suck at ship building.. like me. Believe me, I really like being able to use them and just stick on lasers and engines. They look amazing compared to the junk I called ships before.

There are a number of templates already available in-game for human players to use (and they can be added to at any time). By my earlier comment I meant that there's no need to access the screen for assigning templates to specific ship roles because the human player can intelligently pick templates from all those available (or just slap parts on and go). The AI can't, which is why there's a screen where you can tell them which template to use for which type of ship
