1.1 Beta 3 Bug
The Bug:
--Steps--
Create a new ship design.
add a tiny hull (doesn’t matter)
Save it as "1" for example
Upgrade the design and save it under a new name; say "2"
//Notice that the "1" design is gone from the list even with a new name
//Originally this would create a new entry on the design list. Designs "1" and "2" would be visible.
Now upgrade the design again.
Save the design with the original name "1".
The game should crash.
---
How I found this:
I used to create a prototype ship and upgrade it with functional parts under a new name. Then I would have two designs, one prototype and one actual design to use in the game. In this way I can use the prototype design to create, scouts, or fighters, or transports and not have to recreate the ship every time. The only reason I tried upgrading to an old name is because I was wondering why no new design entries would appear on the list.

Be careful changing the code stardock! A serious bug has appeared due to some well meaning change.
