n00b question

I couldn't find this in search so either it's unique or I'm really dumb.
I'm playing the Twilight of the Arnor expansion and for some reason whenever I try to make a new design, etc. it won't save in the "user" tab... or anywhere unless I happen to check the "put in templates" box. Even after that I still cannot build a combat-ship, the only one I have is the defender it gave to me at the start with the colonization ship.

This is the campaign mode, first mission... do I have to have a cultural victory or something? There's no real objective check sheet that I could refer to in-mission is there?

Thanks

Do you have the relevant techs researched to make something other than a Defender?

I can't even make a defender that's the thing. And I believe I do, I've got up to "tiny" ship building ability. I can't upgrade or anything though.

You shouldn't be completely crippled. The game should have the "auto design ships" feature turned on by default (check options). You could probally design better, but they are good enough to win games with (I have been able to atleast).

Anyways, your problem might be related to the known bug in the latest patch. Version 1.96 was missing some important stuff. Check the link I'm providing for more details:

Twilight 1.96 Change Log

By the way, there is a new update so you probally want to download that.
