Side note, is there an IRC channel commonly used for this game?

If you've already built a ship, then you need to use the Copy as New option or upgrade the design (upgrade only works if you actually have something better to upgrade).

No clue on IRC.

Status: offline 		Yeah, even when I create a new design I see no box that lets me rename, and clicking in around the name and mashing on the keyboard does nothing. Either my install is messed up, not I'm just not understanding how to rename a design at all.

I have attached a screenshot with the relevant area inside a red rectangle and with an arrow pointing to it, if clicking in that area and then typing isn't doing anything then there is something wrong with your system/game.

Doesn't really seem necessary when there is a big "Name:" field available and you now know where it is.
