If I add a ship design (designs as in components, weapons, etc, not the fluff) and they appear for me to build in game, they don't ever upgrade. The stock ships upgrade to Mark II, Mark III, etc. as you increase your tech but the "custom" ones don't. Is it possible to do this with the custom ship designs? I've tried creating multiple version of a ship with what I viewed as "upgrades", that didn't work.
I also had a question about ship design I can't seem to find an answer to. If I add a ship design (designs as in components, weapons, etc, not the fluff) and they appear for me to build in game, they don't ever upgrade.

I've searched every screen, there is no option to "break" the alliance or treaty. I've googled the hell out of this and found no real answer. And no, it's not on the scr
