No medium Thalan missile ship?

from GalCiv3 Forums

I'm playing Thalan right now. I've unlocked medium hulls and all of the basic weapon and defense types. However, I only see the kinetic medium ship (Charge), the beam medium ship (Trust), and the all-type medium ship (Obligation). I don't see a medium missile ship. Is this a bug or am I missing something?

Also, what's with the ship order? It starts with tiny ships, then goes to scouts, then medium ships, then colony/trade/transport, then small ships, then some prototype ships, then some more medium ships, etc.

 

On a completely unrelated note, no matter how many times I delete them, three of my beta-stage saves keep getting created and showing up in my load games list.

I think it's a bug. All of the "Ranger" ship classes in ShipClassDefs.XML seem to point to the "Destroyer" blueprint in ShipBlueprintDefs.XML, which is built on a large hull, despite the description for the Ranger class indicating that it is a "medium size missile-warfare ship," there being Destroyer class vessels defined in ShipClassDefs.XML with a description indicating that it is a "large missile-combat platform capable of spewing forth clouds of deadly missiles" which all point to the Destroyer blueprint, and there being a Ranger blueprint in ShipBluebrintDefs.XML which uses missiles, is built on a medium hull, and is never referenced in ShipClassDefs.XML.

Might be an issue with Steam cloud sync, if you have that enabled.

That sounds right. I remember playing another game where ranger and destroyer were both completely redundant large hull missile ships.

Thanks, I'll look into Steam cloud sync.
