The new ship designer Available Design layout is showing a Guardian ship type for an Interceptor build. I built a tiny interceptor and the detail clearly shows its an interceptor but the a hower over the new icon for the ship type in the Available Design layout reports Guardian.
Can you submit a ticket (https://esupport.stardock.com/index.php?/Tickets/Submit) with the ship design attached so we can take a look? Thank you.
After evaluating this further, I think it may be working as designed. I think the way this information is presented on the Available Ships screen may need to be reviewed . I thought the first icon for a ship represented its class ... Interceptor, Assault, Support, etc... But it appears this icon represents a derived 'ship type' based on what modules are installed.
So in my case, my tiny interceptor is 'calculated' to be a Guardian I assume because it has more defensive points than offensive points and it has no 'special' modules.
But this is confusing because Guardian is a defined ship class in itself, and this is an interceptor.
At the end of the day I think it is more a design questions than a bug and I will be making another post on it.
Thanks!
You're not the first to be caught out by it nor will you be the last. This the exact reason back when ship roles were first introduced during the beta that I requested that the Guardian ship name be changed to differentiate itself from the guardian ship role. It can be seen as a minor thing, but its things like this that can help make the game more new player friendly.
