Am I supposed to design my own ships?

Hello all,

I'm a bit confused about ships and the ship designer. Sometimes I research techs and it doesn't seem to make any difference to the ships I have at that time!

Am I supposed to design a new ship myself every time I research something?

Also, special techs like the Terran warp bubbles...I forget the proper name!....in another thread I read that you should just put them on one of your ships in a fleet and not all of them, but I don't really understand that. Doesn't the tech just automatically upgrade all the ships you have once you've researched it?

Thanks!

The autodesigner, frankly, is not very good. It's probably best if you design your own ships.

I'm not quite sure if I understand this question, but multiple fleet modules in the same fleet, IIRC, do not stack, so having multiple ships with them in the same fleet is redundant.

It's been a while but I believe you have to upgrade your ships as they don't automatically upgrade. Personally, designing the ships is the real fun part for me.

Thanks for your replies! I'll have a go at it and see how I get on.
