Ship Designer - doubling up parts

from GalCiv3 Forums

Hi, when I place an engine/part on any ship. it finishes up "mirrored" on the opposite side of the ship, which is often where I want to put another part, but the mirrored part (e.g an engine)  is inactive - adds no mass/cost etc to the ship. When I remove it, it removes the original as well - how do I get around this or stop it from happening

Hi,

this normally happens when you use a "horizontal mirror" on some optical part. When you attach more parts to it, either optical or functional, they get mirrored aswell. The  mirrored engine there is only optical, BUT: you can place another real engine at the place where the hardpoint is, you just have to click into fake engine.You then have two engines at the same spot, one fake mirror engine and a real one.

Hope this helps
