Do you customise the standard ship types when new technologies are developed? Is this done automatically?
Is it important to do this? Is it critical in order to win?

phantombudgie - ship design is a critical part of all interstellar 4X games we've played and loved. 1) it is not done automatically. However, you can take an existing ship model and Edit it to add the new upgrades you are getting. 2) If you are researching off the main branch of technology, then you will want to upgrade your ship models to use the new reactors, design complexities, weapons, armors and upgrades available. You could win without doing this, but you'd have a lot more fun (and use a lot more of your technology) by doing it.

Personally, I do not think you can win without upgrading your ship designs. I'm sure it is possible. Skilled players can get to Level 50 in the Vae Victus in ST RPG, so ...
However, you must upgrade designs carefully, it is easy to upgrade to the best of the best and be unable to afford your fleet's maintenance cost.
Pick your battles ... do you need extra move points? more firepower? more HP?
