First I want to say that the Ship designer is leagues ahead of Gal Civ 2 and I have already spent hours just playing with the pre-designs alone. Great job! Suggestion though; I think it would be a good idea that the meter should display the decimal totals (ie. if there is 144.2 out of 150 capacity used then it should display 144.2 not 144).
It looks like the tech tooltip says that at normalizes Frozen worlds and not Barren worlds... [e digicons]:\[/e]
Is there a purpose to the Asteroids in the game (like in galciv 2) or are they just for show? I see them as an option for setting up the map and such, but mining ships don't exist it seems.
I was thinking the same idea as well. Gets annoying having to "build upgraded designs". It's already been demonstrated in the game that there is a way to do it with all of the default designs.

Also running into this issue. Have Extreme Colonization researched along with every mastery spec and it won't let me colonize a barren world.
