Tired of the same old ship?


It's been a long time coming: in game custom ship designs!
Although this feature has been sitting around a while, we waited until we had planets, and facility creatioin in, and working..
So, think that Deocron Harvester is a bit sluggish? design a new one with ramped up engines! Want more scanner range out of a corvette? put in the best scanner your planet can build!
How it works:
if you own a planet, you can access the custom ship design window from the ship construction tab of planet management.
From there, start with one of the designs your planet can build, what your planet can build, is limited by the tech level of it's ship yard.
Swap out components as you see fit, then save the design
if you save it to the default folder, it will automatically appear in the ship construction window, when you close the editor.
if you save it elsewhere (or, trade files with someone) you can always open the file, in the editor, or in construction.
Plenty more features coming soon!
