Missing Design Names.

Hi, I just received Space Empires 5 in the mail today. I was a fan of the last game, and so far I enjoy this one just as much. I just noticed though today after saving the Ukra-Tal empire in a quick start game, and then setting the technology points so that there is none, the design names for the race seem to disappear once I start a new game, though if I leave the amount of technology points the same they stay. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks!
