error: ship designer #4

[Rico's Roughnecks]

Since the update, invasion doesn't work. The button is darkened and gives that error message when touched. This includes the stock military transport, and the transports I designed with low orbit drop pods, a light brigade and the invasion skill.

Guess I will have to find something else to do until this gets fixed... what the heck did I use to do before I got this game?

Edit. From an older savegame where I already had transports, they still work and I can build the same design and those work, but no new designs work (including the stock military transport)Even if I redesign the one that works, just run thru the design process without changing anything, it drops the drop pods from the design and when I add them back and build it, it doesn't work

Checking now ...

I have uncovered the reason why some games may get the #4 error and I'm preparing a patch.

This issue was caused by a case I didn't expect related to changing the designer's use of invasion weapons.

NOTE: Existing games, where you already have the Military Transport canned design, will continue to "drop" the Drop Pods off, and require that they be reset. New games will not have this issue any longer.

Fixed for next!

Fixed right now!

I'm getting another #4 error. I built a heavy carrier with maintenance bay and boarding shuttles. It can scan and refuel, but the boarding action button is grayed out and says ERROR: ship designer #4 when I tap it. Have not tried out other heavy carrier designs.

Unfortunately, that ship design is invalid for some reason. I will work on trying to figure out what happened in the designer that let you enter an invalid configuration.

The patch I will probably release for it will not be trying to fix your existing ships or designs, so I would say best probably to stop building that particular design.
