Ship Design Replace Use Design with UPGRADE Design

from GalCiv3 Forums


In the Shipyards there is a button to "upgrade to current design"   but this button only works with the stock game designed ships.

If I design a new ship and name it Killer..   and then get better engines so I go and select Killer and redesign it to have the better engines and then name it Killer MK1 or something... there is no way to designate in game that this is an upgraded ship.

 

So all of my shipyards then have to be touched to stop building Killer and start building Killer Mk1


This could be fixed with the current automation that is currently in the game if the "use this design"   was replaced with an UPGRADE button...

You could use the global tools and say "Hey!  Everybody building Killer now build Killer Mk1", would solve the problem with existing functionality.

Nope....   that only changes the currently building ship...  it does not change the queue.. so once they build the Killer MK1   they would move to the previously queued Killer.

 

They have the option to "always build latest Design"  but on custom designed ships EVERY design is unique and "the latest"  so there is no logic driven path for the system to know that the newer design is an upgrade of a previous design and not a brand new design.
