Because i have a shipping line, that has a ship with no name. So it's causing me some errors.
Can someone help me?

I've the same problem again. I was hoping that I maby can fix it in designer mode. But i don't have te passwordWe need to figure out why your shipping line is creating ships without a name. Does the shipping line itself have a name?

Along similar lines, I have been watching the event updates for the Precursors (in Designer Mode) and I have noticed that they have started to assign blank class names to encountered ships. No error messages yet, but it might be related.Quote from: "crayun"I've the same problem again. I was hoping that I maby can fix it in designer mode.

I gave my first class of a colonisation ship (along with most of my other classes, but in this cases I was able too change them and the too long ship names) a too long name and din't notice this (my own are named after cities) until a shipping line launched one ,used the old "number all ships of a class"-name typ and get a ship without a / with a too long name.
This cause a lot of NULL Errors.
Re-Number dint work and I cant target the unnamed ship
Are there othere possible solutions beside restart or using DB-Password? (Or a NPC-Race thats running havoc in the solar system)
(sorry for my english)

Actually, I think destroying the ships might not fix it entirely; I'm pretty sure destroyed ships stay in the database, they're just not looked up as often.
Nope - once a ship is destroyed the record is removed from the database - this is to reduce the bloat effect that all Access databases suffer to some extent.

...Is there a destroyed ship table they get moved to, then? It definitely keeps some sort of record; destroyed alien ships still show up in the foreign intelligence window.Quote from: "Vanigo"Actually, I think destroying the ships might not fix it entirely; I'm pretty sure destroyed ships stay in the database, they're just not looked up as often.

Destroyed ships (from combat or SM) are kept in the DB and just have a 'wreck' boolean flagged as True.
Deleted ships (by using SM) are removed.

You can attack it with your warships, bad for civilian morale (they become an enemy) or you can go into SM mode and create a new player race, give yourself enough tech to have a decent chance of catching and destroying the civvie, then create a couple warships and go pirating. You can then have a good ole space battle when your warships catch the pirates. Hope this helps.

I'm having an issue where my civie freighters are failing to transit a jump point where there is a jump point (I accidentally cancelled orders for my shipping lines). Can someone walk me through how to create a new player race to destroy these ships? I haven't been able to figure out how to do it in a way that lets me take control of the race.
