I would like an option where the game simply don't EVER create or show any ship design except those I designed specifically during that game.
I always design my own ships and they may vary greatly from game to game so it is very irritating to have to obsolete ships and yo have to do that every time you research a new technology no matter if that technology unlocks a new ship component or not. This becomes very tedious...
I save my designs as templates for a reason...
