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.

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
