Engine Restriction - Ship Type Capacity

How many of what?

from Sins Forums

I have seen mention of a limit to the amount of ship-build options available, hard-coded in the game. So, for any given race, there can only be 7(?) frigate, 5(?) cruiser, a 5(?) captial ship types.

Is this actually the case?

If so, has anyone come up with ideas for a work-around?

If not, what is the limiting variable for how many ship types a race can have?

 

Thanks all!

It looks like anything that already uses the second UI row can have things added (so frigate factory can build up to 10). Anything that doesn't use the second row is currently locked, so 5 max.

I've been able to add a 7th tactical structure because there were 6 already so it overflows fine to the second row. Otherwise, there's no publicly known workaround to have more than 5 for the one-row ones.
