Ship Design Headache

Why my Dreadnaught has weapons I cannot use??!

from GalCiv2 Forums

Hi everyone!  

I'm new to this game and I'm enjoying a lot!
I found a strange issue (or maybe it's not an issue!) when working in the ship design panel.
I'm playing with the Yor Collective (which reminds me a lot the Reapers of Mass Effect!!) and yesterday I researched the Massive Scale Building. I built and armed my Sovereign Battlecruiser and after that I checked with the stats of the Dreadnaught ship which the computer provides me in the list as I reached that tech... well... the ship (I mean visually) has weapons I do not have in my list to choose and it has the following stats:

ATTACK - Beam 228
DEFENSE - Armor 32
HP - 90
COST - 3493
MAINTENANCE - 139 bc
SPEED - 4pc/wk
RANGE - 0,9 sct
SENSOR - 4 pc 

While my new, fresh, beeeeeautifull ship has the following:

ATTACK - Beam 204
DEFENSE - Armor 16
HP - 90
COST - 2990
MAINTENANCE - 119 bc
SPEED - 1pc/wk
RANGE - 0,3 sct
SENSOR - 4 pc 

I've used the MOST POWERFUL weapon I have at the moment and I've maxed out the space on my ship... is it possible I'm missing something? I mean... how is it possible I cannot use the weapons, the engines and the armor I see on the Dreadnaught???

Thank you for your great replies!!

There used to be a bug around 1.95 where the predesigned ships weren't taking your miniaturization level into account (that is, they assumed maximum), but I was under the impression it had been fixed.

What version number are you playing?

2.03 is the latest version of TA, which you'll need to download Impulse to update (same goes for any of SD's products).
