Redesign Question

[grunty]

Hey, first time playing RTW, so excuse me if I missed something obvious, but is it not possible to build a new ship to the redesigned specifications?

I unlocked better machinery and went ahead and redesigned my battleship class, swapped out the engine and added a bit more armor. After that I startet to rebuild the ships, which worked without issue.

Then I wanted to build another one of this class, but of course with the redesigned specifications. However when I choose the design in the "Build ship" window, it's the old one. I would have assumed that the redesign gets added there but thats not the case apparently.

It seems to sometimes be possible. It was always possible in the first game, but in RtW2 I think this ability has been restricted to stop people from getting around the CVL and CV building rules by building one ship, converting it into a CVL or CV, and then building another straight away.

Open this design of refitted ship and save it as new design. You will get discount.
And very probably some free tonnage as everything would be more efficient.
