I'd like to not have to re-do my CLR, DD, and colonial KE every time, but the construction dialogue seems to prevent that. Is there a way?

I keep copies (in a separate folder, renamed for year/navy) of numerous, usually January, save files. The design screen let's you reach them fairly easily. Most of my games feature favourite designs, or at least takes on historical designs. |

Unless you're overwriting the save, it should be a simple matter of selecting "Open existing design" and navigating to the other save folders.

from the design ship screen should be able to 'open previous design' and navigate to a previous save to open your old designs - i do this every new game
make sure you turn off 'auto delete old design files' in preferences so the game keeps all your designs in all your games

technically the game won't/can't be saved until you get to the first actual game turn - if you abandon the game at the game start during the build existing fleet phase or select ships under construction phase (the save game button will be greyed out during these 2 phases) none of the ships you designed and put into service will be saved, and the save slot will be erased and empty

Didn't get that far; once I load the designs I was forced (to again) choose a game, but the save file for the new game had disappeared.
