Delete user made ships

Now that I have some what of a clue... Is there a way to permenantly delete user made ships? I have tried it through the shipyard screen but it only deletes them for that game. The next game I have to delete them all over again.

I've been going to MyDocuments/MyGames/GalCiv2/ships and deleting all the files there. It'd be nice if there was a way to do it in the game.

Thanks. I figured it was in the files somewhere. Now I know exactly where to look.

does anyone get a HUGE list of ships - including all the AI ships sometimes when they start a game?

Well generally, I have this when starting a new game from an existing game, or when doing CTRL+N after having played few turns

There is still a lot of "strangeness" that occurs when you start a new game from within an existing game.

If you use what jmgarth wrote above they will disappear.

That is so you don't have to recreate them every time you play. I agree it would be nice if they did not show up untill after you have all the required techs to build them but I think that is mainly cosmetic. To get around knowing when I can build these ships, and because I don't want to have to remember the required Techs from game to game, I put the required techs in the description block of the ship when created.

Basically something like this

F-14 Mark I Mod 0
Small/Laser/

F-14 Mark II Mod 0
Small/Laser II/

I put in extra slashes for spaces that I do not have components installed for so that the description follows the tabs on the ship creation screen.
