Upgrading Ships and Shipyard Feedback

from GalCiv3 Forums

Don't see this being mentioned yet, so apologies if it has.  If memory serves, in GC2, when you select an existing ship (on the game map, not ship yard) you had an upgrade button to upgrade it to the latest and greatest ship of that hull type.  I don't seem to have that option on GC3, is that something that is going to be added later or will you just have to scuttle a ship and build a new one?

GC2 also had the option to hide Core ship designs.  If you're like me and build custom EVERYTHING, having to sift through all of the Core ships is a bit tedious.

Lastly, somebody may want to spell check some of the part descriptions when you have the time.  :)

Found a few oddities/minor annoyances with the shipyard.

The scale sliders are somewhat non-intuitive.  IE, it scales by a set value but if the current value isn't one of the set ones, it rounds to the nearest set value when you click the increase/decrease buttons rather than just adjusting by the set increment and the parts aren't placed with one of the set scale values.  It also sometimes skips over increments.  IE, going from 100 down to 60, causing you to have to decrease then increase again.

Also, if you make changes to the scale/rotation/offset of a model then click in the design area to rotate the whole ship, the scale/rotation/offset window is still visible but no longer active.  Meaning, if you try to click on one of the buttons/sliders the window just disappears and you have to reselect the part you were working with.  However if you just try to reselect the part, you have to reselect it twice as it thinks the part is still selected.

Now I have to get to bed as you guys have yet again succeeded in creating a game that keeps me up way past my bed time.
