Deleting ship types
 

Guys I losing my hair! Hoep someone can telll me how to delete computer generated ships so that they don't appear as a build option when you are building ships. I the computer took over for a turn and I got over 20 useless designes I need to remove. Arron please work on a way so that you have the option of not just marking ships obselete but delete them as well from the data base. This is very frustrating!

In the design window on the lower right hand side. Find a feature called Make Obsolete. There is another feature called Hide Obsolete. Combined, you can dispatch the AI designed ships out of your view. Best of luck.

Also, the Production queue has an "Only Latest" toggle as well, and IIRC it's also among Empire Settings. Obsolete designs do get deleted when there aren't any of that design in play for 10 years.

Thanks guys

Re: Deleting ship types
 

The ship designs will only be deleted after every race considers them obsolete, and there are no ships of that design in the game.

This could be a year or so after the Last ship is destroyed.
