Custom ships appear garbled

Hi,

I bought GC2 UE on Steam recently. Wow.. how addictive?!

I'm having a small issue and a quick search here and on google didn't find anything so it seems I may be unique here. Initially I was launching the game using GalCiv2.exe (to play the original campaign), and then GC2 DarkAvatar.exe to play the second campaign. All along not realising that I could play both those campaigns using GC2TwilightOfTheArnor.exe and that I'd been missing out on a lot of features. Since running Twilight though (but playing Dark Avatar campaign), I've noticed on three occasions now when I create a custom ship it appears garbled in the battle viewer and main galaxy screen. It seems they have a couple of Drengin style wings added in places I never added them in the Designer. When I return to the shipyard to check the design, it looks normal again. If I upgrade the ship, it still appears garbled. Very weird.

Any ideas what might be causing this?

Same ship in main galaxy screen.

Also, what does sentry and guard do exactly. Because I tried putting a Scout on sentry and guard hoping he might avoid combat, but he still just seems to sit there and be destroyed by passers by.

PS: Sorry about the images. I tried both codes on imageshack and none seem to display correctly.

I got the same problem. Bought the game on steam awhile ago but I only just now got around to playing it.

Custom ships look great when you're building them but then look like a jumbled up mess on the map and during battles.

It's a bit disheartening to see that this topic is like 3 months old and no answer was given. I'll try to link this topic to a new one in the bug forums.
