Since the last patch, every new preset ship design uses the point defenses. I am used to the old fashion style like vessels which use beam warfare also got beam defenses and so on.
Therefore one was able to mix fleets perfectly up in order to get all defenses and all offenses.
Now the only way is to use the designer. Well to be honest: I can't bother to use it since the game is a micro-management monster already. And to do this with every single design by researching better technologies is just insane.
So my intention is to address this (imo) issue and set the values back, which determines the presets accordingly, before the latest patch came out.
Or at least an option to tell the engine in how to create defenses.
Sincerely
