- Then, select the base vehicle for the design. A model of the vehicle 
- will then appear in the middle of the screen. Boxes on the model show 
- you the location of the equipment pods. Weapons and equipment developed 
- on the research screen can be added to these pods. In order
- to add equipment to a pod, press and hold the left mouse button in the
- boxes on the model or on the names in the right window, then select
- the equipment you want to add. More advanced vehicles can hold larger
- quantities of equipment and better types of weapon.

- multiple amounts of particular weapons to a pod. If this is the case,
- the amount of weapons fitted to the pod is displayed next to the
- weapon's name and can be changed by left clicking the arrows. The window
- in the bottom right corner of the screen displays the current quantity
- fitted and the maximum allowed.
+ 
- The window at the top of the screen displays the production cost and
- time for this design. The computer gives a default name to the design
- but you can change this by typing in a new name during the design
- process. This is displayed in the window at the bottom left of the screen.
- When you have completed the design, left click OK to save it.
+ 
+ A fast way to design vehicles is to use the Autodesign feature. Left
- click on the Autodesign icon and the computer will make a design for
- you, using what it considers to be the best equipment. You can revise

- happy with it. If you are not happy with the design you can left click
- CLEAR to start again.
