So a few weeks back a patch removed the "coming soon" ship designer button from the main menu. Now, with the game released, this button still hasn't found its way back into the game. Can we assume that this feature has been canceled entirely? Do we really need to spend 10 hours in a game with amplified research rate to unlock the largest hull, just to discover that our custom race color theme doesn't quite look the way we intended? rinse and repeat? because that is seriously disappointing... Can't you at least unlock all the hulls in-game with a little message along the lines of "warning: you do not have access to this technology yet" or something? Can't be that hard to implement.
PS: Sorry for the grumpy first post.
Bring up the console and type unlock
That will unlock everything for you.
But yes, I agree. It be nice to have the ship designer back in the menu once again, so hopefully we'll get it back.
Thanks, i didn't know about that. Saves a lot of time. Does the use of this command have any negative sideeffects (like designs being unusable in other savegames or something)?
It depends on how you save it. If you save it as a template, then the template (design) is usable no matter what items/equipment/modules/etc you add to the ship.
However, if you just save the ship with weapons and all, there is a good chance that you will not be able to build that ship for a while since there are many techs which reduce mass of various components, allowing you to fit way more stuff on your ship. With everything unlocked, your ship design allows very close to the maximum amount of space. Of course, in a regular game, it is unlikely that you have as much space to use... thus the ship may not be available. (unless of course you design a ship with plenty of room to spare).
There are many great features available to you once you register, including:
