Simple question really: I build a custom ship in Game A, played last week. I save both an equipped version with various techs and a plain hull version with nothing but extras on it. The appearance of these custom ships in Game B, a week after I designed them, seems totally unpredictable to me. I have noticed occasions where looking at specific techs in research would indicate that a previously-built custom ship will become available, so I carefully research all the techs listed, but no dice. Any idea what's going on?
I'd really like to see the shipyard brought outside the game, as it were, and put on the main menu. The restriction on editing/deleting core designs should be removed; you should be able to save custom designs as core ships; and a 'reset' button should be included that restores all deleted/modified core designs to default. This is what I'd like, assuming it wouldn't require too much work by the devs =^)
