cannot edit core ship design

February 27, 2007 11:50:08 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
When I want to create a new ship design I either create a new one entirely from scratch or use a template. I then proceed to place weapons, engines, and defenses on the ship. After giving it a name and clicking save I get a message stating that I cannot edit the core ship design. I do not know what I am doing wrong and why this message pops up. It is very annoying because I cannot create any new ship designs in the game. How can I fix this? Or is it just me being dumb and somehow I am editing the core ship design? Thanks for the help!

It is because your ship's name is still the same as the Core Design. For example: You cannot design a colony ship and name it "Colony Ship", as Colony Ship, as name, as a pre-set design attached to it. Same goes for all the other core designs. Whenever I upgrade a core, I simply attach a "2" to it, so a Colony Ship based off the core design gets renamed into "Colony Ship2". That's my trick.
