Some ship design questions.

from Stardock Forums

First I am running TA 1.97, I have the Ultimate Edition and version 2 is not out for that yet.

 

1) When you research one of the weapon techs they are usually split into four sections each section gives you a new weapon that does the  same damage as the previous one but is smaller and cheaper. Do the ship designs (yours or built in  ones) take advantage of this automatically and use the cheaper weapons or do you have to create a load of ships each with the new weapon on them.

 

2) Can you run the ship designer stand alone with all the parts ready to use?

 

3) Is there a ship tree showing all the built in ships and there stats/parts list and where they come in the tech tree.

1) Unless you use autodesign, you do need to put the newer model on your ships manually.

2) The latest version of TA does have the ship designer acessible from the main menu without needing to actually play. We're working to get it available for GC2UL as soon as we can.

3) There may be, but I'm not aware of it. The core ships, even when they were included, were not very good compared to what one could design, so most players just ignored them. With autodesign now, most of them have been removed.
