Im new and I am having these issues all related to ship building...
Is there any way to see a list of possible ships to build before I can build them, so I know what technologies to research?
Is there any way to access all of my custom ship designs in one place, even though I may not be able to build them yet?
A problem I have is I can build defender ships but like nothing else for a long time because I don't know what I need to train. Obviously I can design my own but I know there are other predefined ones, I just can't tell what I need to train to build them. The NPC always have uber ships before me even though I have some killer technologoies like Phasers.
Is there any way to see a list of technologies required to build ships that I already can build? i.e. what technologies does it take to build Battleship?
Is there any way to copy and edit predefined ships? Maybe I like the battleship design but all I want to do is add a new engine and don't want to guess at it's components....
Some technology descriptoin says you can build a ship with it but that the ship has other technology requirements. How do I see those requirements?
Is there any way to design ships out of the game? As it seems there is a very limited number of predefined ships, I want to create a bunch of ship designs and I want to design them without being limited to certain technologies and be able to see what I've already designed. Maybe I have a similar design already but it only needs one more level of engine research... and as it is now it seems like I'm just going to have to remember exactly what techs all of my ships require or just have to make a new design for every single tech.....
Please help!!
