I've searched quite a bit for info on this, and I apologize if I missed it. Several times I've gone through the process of designing a new ship type, only to find that the design has not been saved. A couple of the screens have 'save' buttons and I realize that that's just for that particular screen. I've always entered a new name. (Does it matter when you enter the name of the design?) If I've exceeded some limit of weight or cost or number of designs, I don't get any error message. I get to the end of the screens and the only options are to change the name, Prev and Back which takes me out of ship design. In one of my games I did get one of my designs to show up in the list, but I have no idea how I did it. (FWIW, I'm playing v. 2.0.3 on a MacBook via Steam)

If your ship passes all min/max requirements, then the option to save will show up at the end. After you hit next, on each new screen in the bottom on the blue bar it will tell you if you did something wrong.

@ionwright - you need to complete the design and ensure you use the "Save" button, otherwise it won't be saved. On top of that, you need to need to end the turn to completely the save. If you return to the main menu or quit without saving, then it won't be saved.
We are working on exit-without-saving warnings, thank you for the request!

Thanks!
Perhaps you could make ship design easier by starting a new design with the same configuration that the AI would use for the current game circumstances? possibly have these default designs automatically added to the list under 'easy' and/or with the tutorial map--I guess it would have to be only when a new ship type becomes available?

An "Auto Designer" feature is on the list to make quicker ship design sessions possible, but any AI assistant will be guessing at best, and will probably make moderate ship configurations. |
