When I try to upload ships i end up getting a message that says the designer must not be empty even though i already have a ship created.
Hmm, just to be sure. After Typing in a shipname and Create, you have to click on the Shipname in the list before Making the ship. If you dont click on the shipname you can't save the ship. (and therefore also not upload).
That is my best guess at the moment.

Did you fill in the 'designer' field to mark that you have designed the ship? Select the ship and look for empty text input boxes.
Thanks J, that solved my problems.
