Editing C-Class Design (section)

=== Design Buttons (Bottom) ===

These buttons are used to actually complete your designs, and work with related windows. 

Top row: 
* New Ship Class will leave the class you're working on, and begin design of a new class from scratch. 
* Rename Class and Select Name will name your class. Rename is a text box, Select gives you the [[name lists]] built into the game, and lets you pick from those lists. 
* Lock Class finalizes a design, at which point your components, armour, and deployment time can no longer be changed. If it's been locked, this button will say Unlock Class. Unlocking a class can only be done in [[SpaceMaster Mode]]. 
* Copy class creates a new class, but the new class will start as a duplicate of the class you're currently working on. 
* If you have a prototype component selected, the Research Proto button will add the selected prototype as a research option for your scientists to work on. 
* Create Template makes a template version of the class, which will show up in the Class Templates tab.

Bottom row: 
* Rename Comp lets you rename the component you have selected. 
* Obso Comp lets you mark the selected component as obsolete. 
* Design Tech opens the {{key|F10}} [[Create Research Project]] screen. 
* View Tech brings up a list of your existing [[Player Designed Systems|researched components]]. 
* Refresh Tech updates the window to include any new tech you've researched. 
* Update Armour will change the ship's armour to the highest-tech variety of armour. 
* New Hull, adds a new Ship Classification type to the drop-down menu along with abbreviation.
* Wide View will change the screen so both component lists are visible at once. The button will then say Normal View, and return you to the default view. 
* Delete Class does exactly what it says. A class cannot be deleted if there are any ships of that class in service.
