if I'm not playing correctly, feel free to correct me.
In GalcivII ToA, the ship edittor has an Update and an Obsolete button. I really want a "Replace" button, which creates an updated version but automatically obsoletes the basis ship for the new design.
All of this gets back to having to navigate enormous lists of available crap designs that are no longer relevant to current technology. I've also seen in the forum a suggestion for an obsolete check-box in the ship list. There has to be a graceful way to say "just show me the best ships in their class". It might be similar to having the "Newest/Old/All" tabs for building selection.
I hope Elemental is going to fix this - because it really detracts from gameplay having to manage lists so much.
Thanks.
