Well I satrted a new game and used another mod pack for ships and the same thing happened before. I was able to outfit a speed 4 ship right out the gate. Well I didn't want to cheat, so I made some ships myself speed 3's and 4's.
Well later in the game I did a lot of trading and got i,pulse drive mk II. I decided to go ahead and make a new constructor so I clicked "update" in the shipyard. I got the same 55 available points, so I went to the modules and saw that the construction module wasn't there as a choice. I then noticed that the special ability to construct starbases WAS STILL THERE, even though the image of the constructor module wasn't on the ship at all.
I was able to make a speed 17 constructor. I did the same with my colony ship. Why were the modules still there? And, why with mod packs am I able to construct such a powerful ship at turn 1?
Please fix the shipbuilding. thank you
