Hi folks
New to the game - got a question on commercial shipping. No shipping lines in my empire seem to be building ships. I have the following commercial freighter design
Badger class Freighter 33,950 tons 112 Crew 330. 25 BP TCS 679 TH 375 EM 0
552 km/s Armour 1-93 Shields 0-0 Sensors 1/1/0/0 Damage Control Rating 1 PPV 0
MSP 6 Max Repair 15. 625 MSP
Intended Deployment Time: 3 months Spare Berths 2
Cargo 25000 Cargo Handling Multiplier 10
62. 5 EP Commercial Nuclear Thermal Engine (6) Power 62. 5 Fuel Use 13. 26% Signature 62. 5 Exp 5%
Fuel Capacity 50,000 Litres Range 2. 0 billion km (41 days at full power)
This design is classed as a Commercial Vessel for maintenance purposes
For the life of me I can't see why it wouldnt be picked. I have two shipping lines, none of which have any ships at all
Help! - Thanks in advance

Do you have anyplace for them to go?
-
I have a colony on Luna with a demand for 10 Automines, 10 Infrastructure and 30 Construction Factories. I have the same mirrored as supply on Earth.
-
Ok update - both shipping companies have begun to ship colonists and facilities.
Neither are using my commercial designs though, is this because there is a flaw in them.
They are using their own design of ships.
-
What version are you running? I know in the new versions of the game civilians only use their own designs. They also automagically upgrade them and scrap older designs
-
Version 6. 21

Civilians use their own designs in this version, so you don't need to prepare designs for them. So they will construct what they need, colony ships, freighters, fuel harvesters and some space liners.

Awesome - thanks for the help folks.

Not to hijack the thread, but I had a question I thought fit here nicely.
So my civies decided to build about half a dozen fuel harvesters at my home world, which has been mined out of Sorium for about 5 years now. They're pretty much just sitting about constantly trying to "Move to Sorium Site..." but never reaching it. I have tugs for my other fuel harvesters, so should I just tow to a gas giant? I'm not planning on buying civilian fuel so it isn't critical, but expanding my economy is never a bad thing.
