In the ship designer I create a ship, which shows a delta-v around 3.5km/s But when I start the mission, the custom ships spawn with much less, ~ 600m/s The tanks are still the designed size, but they are mostly depleted when the mission starts. Restarts do nothing, deleting the ship and re building it does nothing.

Update: Now when I use a stock ship (Cutter) on vesta overkill, it spawns with less than half delta V. I copied the cutter to make the above ship.

Are you using multiple engine types? If so, remember that it starts the game with both engines enabled, and so the delta-V you'll get is based on simultaneous burns of them both. If you've got a high efficiency engine and a separate high thrust engine, toggling the latter off when you aren't using it should get you the full dV.

hmm, Its got a methane gimbaled engine, and a few methane resistorockets for manueving. Is it using the resitorockets as part of the Delta-V calcs in game, but not in the ship designer?

That's how I understand it to work, yes.
