Multiple ships of same name

from GalCiv2 Forums
In my starbases' construction menu, there are multiple names for some ships, and the only difference is that the portrait is in a different orientation. How can I have it show each ship just once? They're my custom ships by the way.

Hmmm, this is a bug that seems to happen when you upgrade your old ships with new weapons and what not but keep the same name. As long as you don't save/load the game you'll be fine, but when you do all the ships appear.

I think it was fixed in the latest patch - did you get it?

If not, the easiest fix is 2-fold
1- Rename your ships with a "Mk2" or something at the end of the name when you upgrade them
2- go to your my documters/my games/galciv2/ships folder and find and delete all the duplicate .shipclass and .shipcfg files that bear the same name but with a different number. (for example, scout0.shipclass, scout1.shipclass, scout2.shipclass)

Step 2 will get you rid of the clutter, step 1 will make sure it doesn't happen again

Um, it didn't quite work. I renamed my ships then deleted the duplicate files, and when I loaded my game I just got the same thing, but with the new ship names too.
