i started a new game, played 50 turns or so, saved my game, reloaded my game after work, now all the custom ships i had made prior to that reload are not showing up. actually only one does and it was from a earlier game, and i had deleted the ship itself. though i'm not to sure if the save is playable if anyone tests it because of the mods i use. i guess there is only one way to find out.

here's my debug:
