NM, I figured it out. Thanks all.

Oh god, another newb quesiton: How do I design ships during the campaign? Oh, and btw, congrats on all the success this game is having. I (red face) let a friend install the CD on his computer in hopes of interesting him, but he's picking up his own copy tonight at retail price (it was hard to find, it sells so well!).

Sorry for the newb question. How do they work? No matter how much shield/missile/laser technology I research, my military ships say 1 laser, 0 shields, 0 missile, etc. (this is for a defender). Also, how do I get bigger and better warships?
