Yes. Using the same style and researching the same techs. I did notice that the game saves multiple copies of the ship in the ship folder. They just never re-appear from game to game.

When I start a new game, none of the ships I have designed from previous games show up in the ship design screen. I have the "save ship design to disk" option checked, and the designs are saving to the My Documents/My Games/GC2DarkAvatar/ships folder. Is this a feature that does not work in the sandbox mode, or is there another setting I need to change? Am I missing a tab somewhere? Any help is appreciated.
Fixed it. I typed in the following link after updating my serial number with the Collector's Edition #: https://www.galciv2.com/CollectorsEdition/ And now I have the parts.
I have a slightly different problem. I had to wipe an reinstall my computer, and reloaded GC2 + DA. I cannot get the Collector's Edition content in my shipyard, and cannot find where to type in the serial number.
