Default AI question: Design Creation limits

I have been adding designs to the Mymod_DesignCreation.txt file. I just added a missle ship and now I get an error when I end the turn "unable to load c:\program files...Mymod_designCreation.txt. When I close the window the turn continues but it doesn't design Missile ships. Is there some sort of limit to the number of designs you can have in the DesignCreation.txt file?

The first two things to check in cases like this are whether the file is really in the folder where SE IV is looking for it, and whether there are any extra blank lines that slipped in accidentally.

Are you trying to give the new hulls any special abilities? Some abilities only work on components, others only work on facilities; a few will cause errors like this, while others just do nothing.

I don't know of a limit, but if there is one, it's likely to be either a power of 2 or one less than that, i.e. 2^n or (2^n)-1.

@Kevlord,
Suggest that you just post the file. I'm sure what of the modders will spot the bug
Regards,
