What do I do with these ships?

I'm playing as Terran and researched Starbase Module tech.  I'm supposed to receive two constructor ships but I got two of these instead.  There doesn't appear to be any use to them.  Is this a bug or am I overlooking something?

That's strange, are you using a custom civ shipset ? Eitther way thank you for the save file in the other post.

Did you obsolete any ships?

I actually did obsolete some ships.  Maybe the constructor ships I obsolete resulted in the technology not being able to reference any ship and resulted in 2 blank ships.  That could be it.

Ahh yeah, that's probably what happened!

Never obsolete the original Civilian ships.

Colony, probe, constructor, asteroid miner, supply ship, or any you can get free versions by event

You will not get the ones from events/techs or the ones from using control pts like buying free colony ships.

This is not a bug might be considered poor design but is by design ATM.

It is a bug and I posted it in the bug section.  I got two baratak harvester ships, playing as unmodified terran, that are completely useless.  Why am I getting another race's ships that don't work?  The ships that I've gotten from events so far have been unique.  Obsoleting a ship should not prevent a technology from working correctly.

I did pass it along to the team, with the save file you provided, so they are aware. Thx again for the report!
