2. Can the DefaultDesignTypes file be edited without affecting game play? I find many of the designations (three colony types, Attack Base, etc.) useless, and would like to change them.
TIA
I don't know if this is helpful to you, but I create my own design types. When you first click on design type when creating a new design you'll notice an Add button along the bottom of the screen. Here you can Add a new type or types. With Colony Ships for example, instead of following the obtrusive convention the game defaults to I create a more generic type "Colony Ship" then adopt a naming convention among the subsequest ship designs, such as:
Colony Ship (R-I) (Rock Colony / Version I)
Colony Ship (I-I) (Ice Colony / Version I)
Colony Ship (G-I) (Gas Colony / Version I)
Like planning a comprehensible network such conventions go a long way toward making your Design Interface look much, much cleaner. That, coupled with the Hide Obsolete function, keeps the entire thing limited to two pages at the very most.
