Debug information for each stardock app follows ....

The Drengin Empire surrendered to the Pirates. Which to me is a bug by itself a major race should not be allowed to surrender to a minor race or something that is not even a race like Pirates.
I went to invade to Pirate world ? and the game crashed.

I've had the same experience with invading Pirate worlds - it crashes all the time. About all you can do is start building starbases.

I don't know whether these have been mentioned before but those are the bugs I found:

1. The game crashes if you press the info "i" button, when you have aspace monster selected.

2. When you load a game or continue last game, the countdown for elections becomes N/A and research time for all techs becomes 1000 turns.

3. You have to "force-attack" pirates (and other ships) by moving adjacent to the pirate and then clicking the opposite square. That way your ship tries to move through the pirate, but "finds it" and kills it! LOL

4. I can't attack the Space-Shark. :notsure:

Also some ideas:

1. The moral issue. I'd like to be able to see how the moral of my planet is calculated, so that I can plan better. It's really frustrating to see a planet that has low morals and don't know why (it has all the same specs as another high moral planet).

2. The same for population growth. Why are some planets growing fast and other slow? I realise that there is a formula for this, but I'm the kind of ruler that want's to know these things so I can plan accordingly. On the same note.... I'd like to know why my political party isn't in power.... details people!

3. The race issue. It would be nice if it mattered what race the inhabitants of my planets belong to.

4. Stacking units would be great! :d

5. Hiring pirates to attack other race's freighters! *evil laughter*

6. It would be cool if planets could help each other in finishing projects. (kinda like caravan in Civ).

Like privateers. Perhaps in GC/Win 1.x?
