Default Re: Wanted: Savegame ConVersion!

It's just not possible. You can't possibly change the components on a ship effectively from mod to mod. What if you have a ship with PPBs on it at 30 kts each. Lets say the next patch or mod increases that to 40kts each for balance reasons. How could the program compensate? Change your designs? Make invalid ships?
And what if ship requirements were changed in some way so that ships in your queues are now not valid designs? How would the program fix this? Kill all of your queues? Allow you to build these things?
It just would not work because you either lose half the stuff in your game because the program would delete it because its invalid, or you have a bunch of illegal designs.
You would end up having to do more work to fix what this program would do than it would take to start a new game.
