Possible Ship Upgrade Bug?

from GalCiv2 Forums
I dont know if its a bug or if this is normal, hopefully someone can tell me.

I had a medium hulled ship, with very basic weapons, like a few mass driver III's or something, but over the course of it surviving a LOT of battles, it had 113 HP and a lot of experience. So, as my weapons got better and miniturization improved I had a new model and upgraded the old one. It lost all its HP and experience, is that normal? Now it is as though I just built it off the assembly line, which is sorta lame.

Upgraded ships should indeed keep their XP. What version are you running, and do you have a saved game with the levelled ship in it so the issue can be reproduced?

Its DA 1.6. I dont have saved pre-upgrade data, but I have since moved the ship around in space, and I think its a glitch similar to when my resource starbases "disappear". Sometimes when I see the ship it shows as the old one, but if I highlight it or click on it, in the text window it shows correctly. Kinda like when I will see a resource that looks unowned but if I click on it, it shows the starbase. So apparently its just something with the graphics?

I've seen this as well a while ago (1.5, early 1.6 betas), but I don't know if it still happens with final 1.6, my recent games have been rather peaceful. I'll try to reproduce it in my next game.

My bug is that any ship I upgrade when I am building custom made huge ships turns into a Overlord instead of my more powerful design. That is all my older ships when upgraded tuen into overlords. The new ones are ok. Running latest DA 1.61

If any of you can reproduce these issues in 1.61, please send a zipped saved game and directions to reproduce the problem to [email protected], along with your debug.err.
