Possible Bug in Size of added Components

from GalCiv2 Forums
Hello,

Ive downloaded the V1.2 Beta (or at least i think it is 1.2Beta) and i am playing a Drath campaign. I usually start setting my flagship on survey mode in hopes of getting some extra cash. Therefor i make a new scout using a cargo_hull to increase sensor/engines/life support. I am screwing around with the shipyard when i noticed that my new scout has an extremly large amount of engines/sensors/life support on them which never was possible on my previous games. I looked at my engines and it stated: 'Size: 8' but when i placed it on my cargo hull it only went from 0/55 -> 4/55 meaning that it added only half of the size of the engine.

Sensors: Size(7) -> 0/55 to 3/55
Life Support: Size(4) -> 0/55 to 2/55

Edit1: This seems only to be the case on Cargo_hull since both small/tiny dont have that problem.
I've tried to locate a 'report beta bug' thread but was unsuccesfull in detecting one, therfor im unsure someone else mentioned this so i made this thread. Feel free to post your findings and/or what else is on your mind.

Ps: Love the game and am really a satiesfied customer. Keep it up stardock

greetingz

I cant say exactly where but I've seen that a lot when I'm designing ships in the sandbox game I'm playing now. Never that extreme but it's enough to mess things up. Usually it's like a weapon that it says takes 11 slots but after placing it I'm only 9 slots down. And if the ship only has 10 slots left it wont let me place another one of those 11/9 weapons.
I even designed a ship once that was over the max by 1 point. it wouldnt let me build it but, still, the design was there.

If you are using 1.1 beta version, please update to the full version of 1.1.

If it still happens, please list steps to reproduce the problem. Thank you.

I had it occur last night in 1.1 but I don't yet know how to reproduce it. Just wanted to verify that it seems to persist in the lastest patch . . .

Makes for some fun ships though

Were you using a saved game from an older version? The fix would require you to start a new game in v1.1.

I definitely started a new game after updating to 1.1. I don't know what causes it unfortunately. I don't remember doing anything particularly strange in the shipyard . . . just suddenly components I added to a particular design were talking less space than they were supposed to.

If it helps . . . I remember getting the ship full enough that an additional component wouldn't "officially" fit but there was enough space to fit it if it was resized to the size of the other (identical) components I had placed before it. The ship designer wouldn't let me place it though . . .

When I get some time later I might play with the shipyard and try to figure out how it happens.
