Ship Design Focus Bug

from GalCiv2 Forums
on reload the the ship design focus defaults back to beam/shields, even if you have set it to something else, and giving you wrong ship designs if you don't manually change it back. anyone else have this? also, defence can't be graded % wise and you can't set it all to zero.

i'm also noticing that if you have 100% shields selected, for instance, when you have no shields, the AI still seems to attach a shield style component to the hull??

still no upgrades for AI designed ships?

also discrepancy between user and core - in ship design, AI designed ships are user, in build list they are core (or is that vice versa?)...

I believe that I have fixed the bug where the focus always defaults back to beam/shields. 

I'm not sure what you mean by "Defense can't be graded % wise."

I haven't seen any instance of the AI putting components on the ship that you don't have tech for. If you have a save game, please zip it and send it in to [email protected]

Also, what do you mean by "still no upgrades for AI designed ships?"

Ships designed for the player by the AI will now show up under the Core filter for both the quick build list and the shipyard.

I'm taking a stab in the dark, but I think I've seen people mention that computer-designed ships cannot be upgraded into another design.

So if you have a ship named "PC-Design-0001" and now have another design with the same frame size called "PC-Design-0002", he can't upgrade all ships created as the 0001 into 0002's.

I personally haven't used this option yet, and aren't at my gaming PC to check it first hand to confirm.

sorry cari - wasn't clear - the "defence can't be graded" meant I can't set my defence to 33% shields 33% armour 33% point defence, or all of them to 0% if i want to build an attack only craft.

as for components - i just noticed that a series of "blue shield bubbles" were being attached to ships if you had a setting of 100% shields, even if you hadn't researched any shields. This made no difference, and might be simply aesthetic, but just reported it in case if you upgraded a design it caused problems.

"still no upgrades" refers as loupdinour says, to the inability to upgrade your ai designed ships (eg M1) to the latest ai design (eg M2). at the moment you have to scrap and build.

new bug - the ai designs ships that use greater capacity than the current hull space. i'm getting ships designed by AI that i can't build eg components 30 to hull space 26.

and while i am in the presence of the goddess....

Drengin tried to offer me Efficiency Studies II for Xeno Farming when i already had Efficiency Studies II

The Minors still appear to be accessing race specific techs of races not selected for the game eg a minor had warp bubble tech when the terrans were not in the game. i remember this being reported before, but can't remember the outcome.

Oops.  The upgrade ships screen was discriminating against AI designed ships.  I'll have that fixed shortly.
