I was wondering if someone might know either mod or something else to deal with the little thing about ships that drives me crazy :)

The thing is in ship design i prefer to keep under control of AI as it saves time. It surves good for first half of the game as you advance pretty fast in technological tree.
However the thing that ruins it is inability to have more than one latest design for each class of space ships.

What I mean is:
We can make more than one design for a cruiser (one pure blasters, other one - carrier and so on), but only one of them would be latest. And when I issue to my fleet to go and get upgraded at the closest space station all of my cruisers that were of different design get upgraded to the latest one, Usually the one that AI makes. And then I have to manually reissue to every single ship to get upgraded to different design. Quite time consuming. Not to mention that automatic ships would change to the latest design by default, even if you had built them as different design.

So that's said, my quiestion is next:
Would it be possible to make more than one class of frigate or cruiser or capital ship? I mean when we choose in design what type of ship it is, we can choose only from 5 basic one. Is it possible to make lets say more than just one class of a cruiser? Like missle cruiser, carier cruiser, point defence cruiser. This way AI would amke more than one design for the same class, but that can surve different objects.
They have it in one game that is close to yours (Space Empires). They have for every single ship tens of different designs. I know I can do it manually, but I still would prefer AI to do this job. I mean, if those guys have managed to do that, why can not you?

Sorry if it is too much to read,
Thank you for your time,
Sperlhawk.

I never use automated ship design, so I don't know for certain. This is a great idea though and it has come up before.

If this were possible then we could have the computer controlled AI design their own mod-defined ships. This would be very cool indeed.

I would advise you to copy all that and paste it in a thread on the wishlist.

Hi Sperlhawk, your vote on this is more than welcomed. There are enough of us asking for it to hope see it implemented at some point.

Have fun.
