Ship Designs.

[markusf]

Is it possible to save ship designs? So lets say i create a ship design in game A and add it to my favorites list it will be availible to me in game B? (assuming i have the tech)

Same with the AI, is it possible to make them use certain types of ship designs? ie some kind of script file.

In the first case would you really need to do this? I mean you'd still have to spend the IFP to actually create it in the second game and recreating a ship design (from memory or simply writing it down) shouldn't really be too hard.

On the second thing however, that would be ideal. Find a design or two to make an AI competitive (I'm assuming good players will find ways to beat it on most levels given enough time).
This will probably depend on the scenario-related aspects (if any) - how easy it is to basically define starting positions/techs/designs, etc.
From the sounds of the editting capabilities the various weapons/systems will be easily changed so it should at least be possible to "cheapen" certain design types to the AI's liking...

I believe that every action uses IFP.

IFPs and ship design.

As it currently stands 1 IFP is intended to allow you as much ship design as you wish in a single turn. Naturally subject to playtesting, etc.
