I started a new game and made a ship right at turn 1. I used a hull from a mod pack that I have. I played a few turns and decided to start a new game. In the new game (with exactly the same settings) the ship was not there, so I made another one with the exact same name. I checked my ships folder and they were BOTH there. Just for grins I started another game, and you guseed it--niether were there.
Why are the ships I am making not showing up in new games?
