How to Fix Some Issues with Upgraded Ships

Bump so someone I refferred this too could find it.

Is there a way to remove the miniaturization tech requirement?

I am running 1.0x and the ship files are causing me big headaches.

I initially played a custom race using the terran ship set. I designed some ships, and submitted them for sharing at the core.

I changed my custom race for different colors and to use the Yor ship set. I want to be able to share these designs as well, but can't. The game is not creating a new shipclass file but lists the shipclass file names from the original iteration. For example old design named VSS Colonizer. New design named VSS New Horizions. I have a new "VSS new horizions" cfg file but the shipclass file still shows "vss colonizer". Since I have to include both the shipclass and the cfg to allow others to share I am stopped short as only one of those files is there.

I went as far as to start over. I deleted ALL the files (I moved to another folder the ones i wanted to store) in the ships folder and started from scratch AGAIN (even included a color adjustment). I did not load any saved games from the previous maps. What does the game do? It re-creates those very first shipclass files but gives a new cfg file. So I have the new cfg file showing the correct name, the old shipclass files showing the old name, and a level of frustration that is looking down on Everest's peak.

I want to move on and try another ship set but I don't want to lose my current designs, yet can't save them elsewhere because of the missing files. And the ships I hope I never see again I can't get rid of.

Any help would be appreciated.

Now the hard part of not losing where this thread is. (watch thread don't work for me. I keep getting timed out denials when I try to add a thread.)

The newest vesions sincve 1.0x do not use shipclass files. 1.1 uses .XML files instead.

To keep track of threeads, you can add them to your Browsers' favorites menu. Click on Favorites when you are in the thread and clcikc add to favorites. most if not all Browsers support this. I created a separate Folder in my Favs for keeping track of threads since the Forum software watch feature does not work.
