Editing an Existing Hull Design

More about Hull Design

Do the following if you want to change an existing design or create a new design based on the existing design. You can edit a design only if none of your existing ships use that design.

1.        Select Existing Ship Designs.

2.        Click in the ships dropdown list and select the design name.

3.        Click on Copy Selected Design.

If the Copy Selected Design button is shadowed, you've reached the maximum of 16 concurrent ship designs. You must delete an existing design before you can design a new ship.

If the Edit Selected Design button is shadowed, there are existing ships based on this design. Only designs for which no ships exist may be edited.

Tip: You can use Copy Selected Design to clone a known enemy ship design (although the results may not be perfect).

4.        Drag the components to be removed from the ship schematic to the collection of ship components and release.

Tip: Hold down the CTRL key to drag all items from the slot, or the SHIFT key to drag 4 parts at a time.

If you wish, replace the old components with new ones from the ship component list. Drag them over to the ship schematic and release.

5.        To change the image for the design, click on the spinner controls beneath the ship picture.

6.        Save the design:

To save the design under the same name, click on OK.

To rename the design (effectively creating a new design), click in the name field and type in a new name. Then click on OK.
