How do you COMPLETELY remove ships?

I think this question has probably been answered before, but I can't find the thread.

What I'd eventually like to do is create a selection of 'blueprints' (ie. a number of hulls that I spend a significant amount of time getting them just how I like them) for all the different types of ship-types I'm likely to need in a game (ie. Constructor, Frieghter, Heavy Fighter, etc). These would be completely barebones, so I'd just need to add weapons/defense/etc to get them going (and then save them under a different name.

Then, before I start a game, I'd go to the 'Ships' directory (in My Games), load up the ship types I want, and then play the game and use the 'blueprints' as the hull sizes come available.

The problem is that 'ghost' images remain in the game somewhere.

Although I may delete the ships from the 'Ships' directory (or even in the game, using the 'delete' key), the game somehow 'remembers' them.

Have any of you guys found a way to completely start 'fresh'?

Make sure you remove both ship files. There is one call shipcfg and one call shipclass. Also the metaverse games store the ships in a different folder.

In general you should only remove these files if you also delete any saves that may have used them. The game will bail on you if you load up a save game that then looks for the deleted files.
