Autoship designer weirdness

May 4, 2008 6:50:15 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums

I am playing my first official release game and noticed something strange.  I am about mid-game, have some lasers, guns etc researched.  The AI is autodesigning ships I reckon because I see things like Battle Axe M6 with a good mix of lasers and missles.

I decided to  upgrade my Battle Axe M6 (option to remove components is not checked).  When I do this I see something really strange....

It says that the ship has 85/67 components installed!?  If I select and item to remove then select a new component to install the bar then turns red and and wont let me install the item even though its' size is less than the item I removed.

It seems as if the auto ship designer is being allowed to add more items to a design than I could.

 

Is this a bug?

Thanks

Hm. Here's a question I have sorta related... while the ship designer will automatically make say, Defender class ships for me, I don't get a default Defender ship unlocked when I unlock 'Space Weapons' or whatever tech it was.

Is that supposed to happen? I never seem to get any armed ships except auto-designed ones. I mean, I can still access them from the Templates, but the normal ones don't show up.

i found this once in the beta and reported it - so i think it might be.

ChristopherRobin, i believe the autodesign ships replace the default ships

SgtSmithy, it's happened to me a few times as well. It's usually not a huge problem, but it does make me wonder if the AI's ships are similarly over-extended.

ChristopherRobin, You should be able to find the default ships with the templates.

Yeah, but the template versions remove all the components when you upgrade them, even if you turned that option off.
