Loading old designs gets mines you cant clear

[brygun]

Having spent a lot of time drawing the overhead layout of ships I was loading some from a previous game. For example a 700-900 ton DD.

If that design has mines then they are loaded in to the new game. This is true even if you havent researched mines yet.

Now since the mines are greyed out there is no way to access the number to set it zero. Thus you cant save the design. Thus losing the idea of copying in the drawing.


Simplest solution would be in the mine box of the design sheet to add a "clear mines" which would remove all mines. This needs to work whether your not you have mines researched.

Somehow in this game I managed to make other vessels to have mines before I researched them by loading, saving and building the old designs.

One option take two simple things:


= that when "designing" via save (vs the desired save only) the game checks if they invented mines. If not it spits back that you need to remove mines and/or removes them

= Add to the mine area of the designer a button of "set to zero" which always sets the mines onboard to zero. This needs to work all the time even if the nation hasn't invented mines. It would be a way to clear loaded design or AI design errors.
