0.40 Ship designer needs. Need to be able to build upgradable designs.

from GalCiv3 Forums

I think I saw them doing this in one of the Dev Streams, but I can't seem to do it. Is this something that is scheduled for a later level?

 

I would like to design ship templates that will automatically be upgraded as new techs are researched. If I specify a base level component, such as a hyper drive engine, and complete the tech for the hyperdrive plus engine, the game will make my design available with the new engine. Then if I complete the tech for an Ion engine, the game will make my design available with Ion engines.

 

Perhaps this would be better if the ship design allowed us to specify a number of each component type (engines, sensors, life support modules, beam weapons, missile  defense modules, etc.) then the game can do the upgrades as the techs are researched.

Yes. I'd love to be able to just create a hull, then tell the AI to build 50% mass weapons, 20% missile defense, 20% engines, and 10% life support and have it auto generate and upgrade. I asked a question about this in one of the early dev streams, and at least at that time they said you would have to manually upgrade custom designs.
