[Atrocities]

Thank you CK for giving us a more detailed statement. I however have to agree with Q. While it would be great to use the auto design, it lacks the ability to allow the player to add his own components. Components should be added at a single click.

Also the downward scrolling of the component list just seems impracticle and combersome to use. Having more of the components listed across the entire window from left to right with arrors to move it would be a far better system than the current one.

Hell a Tab window or multiple choice Tabs filled with components would be better. Weapons, Combat Support, Required, Engines, Etc would go a long ways to improve the ship design UI. But that isn't going to happen so here we are.

If we must live with what we have, and the auto-design is it, then I guess having a good easy to use editor for setting up mulitple pre-designs would be the next best thing.

This way players can spend some time setting up their own design for use with the auto-design feature of the game.

But still having pre-specified slots for components would be the better choice overall as Q described above.
