Bug - Custom Ship Designs not showing up?

from GalCiv3 Forums

So I made a new custom design (just some crappy Small glass-cannon type thing - nothing fancy, no custom parts or anything), and I've built a couple of it from one of my shipyards.

I made three at the same time.

I opened the SY and two of those designs weren't there? I definitely had the resources to build them (none of them even required any resources) and they definitely weren't obsoleted/deleted, as I even copy-pasted the design and called it something else to try to restore them but to no gain.

 

It isn't like I have billions of designs in the list either as I tend to obsolete instantly the default stuff and run with my own.

 

1.03 obviously - Is this a known issue or am I being thick?

 

Thanks

are you sure the hulls had enough mass capacity to hold everything?

I would think so - it doesn't let you add any more parts if it's over capacity? Although I will check when I next have a go, and get back to you.

Thanks

If you created the ship when you had mass reducing techs unlocked,  next game you may see it in designer before you can actually build it.

I have seen this happen as well.  Also designs I make in ,my SP game don't seem to pull over to my MP game and vice versa.

Yep it was the mass reduction thing. Kind of horrifying when I get declared war on by the AI and all of a sudden the ships I'd been happily producing for ages now vanish from the shipyard...

 

And of course nobody wants to talk to me to make peace, so I must gobble them up slowly but surely.
