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
Personally I would leave alone the designations that already exist since the AI seems to use some of them for construction calls and designs. It's ok to add in whatever you want up to the 255 type limit though. I've added in several dozen of my own custom types, and it has worked fine for several games. I added in some design types that (to me at least) have flashier/more descriptive design types borrowing heavily from modern naval designations, ie things like Light Cruiser, Strike Cruiser, Battle Cruiser... interceptor, strike fighter, assault fighter etc. I mean to me troop transport sounds like it just shuttles troops from location to location, but assault transport ah now there's something that drops swarms of marines from orbit to take over a planet. I dunno, I probably sound kind of weird now, hehe.
