I'm playing on Dark Avatar version 1.8 (didn't know about the update until just recently) and I'm curious if anybody else is seeing this. I design a ship and it just disappears from the shipyard. This causes two weird effects....
One, every design I build is still available from the planet ship build list. This is the list you get when you're not viewing a planet's details, but merely click a planet and then "build ship". So the missing designs are still buildable from here, which is very important (otherwise I'd never be able to build my ships), but because they're not in the shipyard, this list is getting bigger and bigger!
Two, because the designs are available but not in the shipyard, I cannot upgrade a design. I have to build a new one from scratch, tell my colonies (via the governor) to build the new ship, and manually scrap ships if I wanted the obsolete ships scrapped.
Very annoying. Very very annoying.
