[1.1] All ships become the same class on upgrade

[Monkbel]

Paradox guys, any update on this?

fun thing is, you can delete the auto-best design, but after a loading a save, or maybe a few mins it appears again

Bump. Will it be fixed in Asimov?

Ok, I reported this in the bug forum: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...p-upgrade-changes-class.939547/#post-21309810

My destroyer during upgrade changed the class from "auto-designed" one to one that I manually designed.

The response from a Paradox employee is "Not technically a bug.. At the moment, "upgrade" upgrades to the most recent design of the correct class (size)"

I wonder if you guys noticed this too, and whether it's actually possible to keep diverse group of ships with this.

The exact behavior as I described it in my report:
Ships of a Autogenerated class will upgrade to a manually generated class, if the manually generated one Design is newer then the Auto-generated one (wich happens easy since the automatic redesigns the gametick the tech is made avalible).

My simple workaround was to only use manually created lead battleships (I call the class by the first 4 letters of the Support Aura) and keep my hands of autogenerated BB.
For stuff like Corvettes through Cruiser autogeneration (and update!) is quite okay I think.

thats weak sauce. the game should ask you which design you want to upgrade.

Please explain how it is supposed to do that in a Realtime Multiplayer Environment.

Still bugged in 1.8...
New game, just update all my "auto best" Agamennon Cruisers (gunships) to manually generated Vesuvius Cruisers (carriers).
The game should upgrade using name class as reference...

This bug report was for 1.1 and the conditions changed totally since then:
Battleships no longer carry auras
the computer and thus ship behavior is no longer selectedable.
Without those varrying designs really make little sence.

For different roles, you should be using different shipclasses.
