Noob question...

[Scottus (OP)]

Sorry but I am a noooooob and did not know where to post this question for sure. . . .

     I am running 6. 21 and everything is working great.   My problem is in ship construction.   I have created two simple designs complete with engines etc and exported them to the text file ship list.   The problem is when I choose any shipyard to build one of them (Create Task)  there are no classes showing up in the "new class" drop down.   

What am I doing wrong?

Any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance.

Couple of questions:

- Are the designs locked?
- Is the shipyard large enough to handle the ship?
- Is the shipyard commercial but the ship is military?

[Scottus (OP)]

Hi and thanks for the reply!   The designs are not locked and I both a military and a commercial vessel designed and none will show up in any of the four yards I have.    The ships are not big (the biggest is a freighter that is about 3000 KT.

Maybe post your designs and we might see something wrong with them.

There are no warnings for the ships?

[Scottus (OP)]

No warnings.   I created two simple ship designs but when I go to build them none of them are showing up as choices.

Here is the basic shipyard page with a design.

Shouldn't the class appear under the drop down  in Create task "New Task"? and then "new Class?  There is nothing there.

The shipyards have not been tooled for construction of that ship. You must first assign them the task (in the "Task Type" drop down) to Retool for the Coontz class ship. Once retooling has been complete, they should appear in the "New Class" drop down to be constructed.

[Scottus (OP)]

I tried that but there is selected class box is empty.

[Scottus (OP)]

I dont know what I did but I now have one class listed in a shipyard.   The problem now is there is no completion date after I started production. . . .  I keep hitting 30 days to advance time but there is still nothing there.

As others have said you neet to assign ships to shipyards in order to build any ships by using the retool action on the naval or commersial yard. Commersial yards can only build commersial designs while military can build any ship except fighter designs.

The military design you showed on the pickture is a fighter which is any design with a weight of 500 tons or below. Fighters are built on planets using fighter factories.
