i was playing the custom map siege and the following happened.
1. i started construction of a new custom carrier ship.
2. i selected most of my fleet
3. i was able to place them over the outline of the not yet constructed ship.
attached screenshot. i made a save file i just need to find it
here is the save file. as a note i have the steam version but it still saved into my documents folder.
Hmmmm... how'd you manage that? :)
I can see the ship in your save isn't occupying space. If I try to reproduce it from scratch in that mission (destroy and rebuild that big ship) I can't reproduce it. When you placed that large ship for building, did you do anything 'different' that just clicking and placing?
Also, just to confirm, on the main menu of the game at the bottom does it say version 1.0.2?
i don't remember doing anything different when i placed it. and yes i am on 1.0.2. i don't see how this could matter but the ship was amped when it blew up.
edited to add: i couldn't reproduce it either.
Did you order the new ship to move?
i don't think i did. but you should be able to check in the save file.
