I hate that bug. I noticed one thing that causes it. If you go to a space port and repair your ship, then swap to another ship, then swap back. Then save while inside the station and reload you will be in your other ship again and your other ship that you repaired will still be repaired but all the blocks are missing again.

Doesnt answer your question. I am not sure if eventually taking more damage and repairing it will fix it or not but when it happened to me I had to reload an old save file.

To add insult to injury even if you wanted to get a new ship and say to heck with that old ship you cannot delete it or remove it in any way so its there for life to be a sore spot in your inventory.

Hello,

Sorry for the nuisance. Unfortunately the game recorded the ship's damaged structure as your design, hence even repairing it just restores it. The plan is to add a "restore original structure" button to the ship editing area for this as early as next week.

Until then on way to reset that broken ship is to delete it's "saved" structure.

In the save files there are two kinds of ship save files, so to speak

bprint_[number].vx and ship_[number].vx

Number will vary depending on if you have the starting ship (which will be 1) or bought another one, which can be anything.

bprint_ is the shape the ship resets when you repair it (it needs to be damaged). If it's not present it will just revert to the stock structure.

ship_ is the current ship structure, if you remove it the ship will be reset, to bprint_ if it exists.

Deleting both of them will definitely reset the ship.
