Fleet oddities in 4z

from Stardock Forums
Hi,

Encountered a really annoying error when playing last evening. The graphics for the different ships contained within a fleet (three fleets with 20 ships in each) disappeared in the view down to the right. The view was simply blank giving me a hard time selecting those ships I needed at the time, in this case combat transports.

In addition to this, occasionally the only way to move a ship out of a disbanded fleet is to set it on autopilot to have it automatically leave the stack of ships. Just selecting it from the right hand view and pushing the directional buttons on the keyboard (or the keypad) does not work.

But I must say that the game is awesome and I already like it more than the old GC for OS/2 and that's saying a lot!

My only complaint with fleets is performance. They have a jerky move. With the advent of the Combat transport, I stopped using fleets. I had CT with 160 HP and 60 Def. :)

Wow, seems that I have neglected to build enough military social improvements to produce CTs with that kind of power. :)

I like using fleets to reduce the micromanagement of moving a large number of ships from one territory to the other, but now it is just simply annoying and I will cease using them for my nightly game.

Oddly enough, the problem went away when I played last night. Perhaps a restart of the game was sufficient? The graphics part seems a bit flaky om my system. Animations for improvements are not always shown. (I have downloaded the multimedia stuff)

Polish issue:
The "Combat Transports" are called "Combat Transports" in the military improvements list but "Battle Transports" in the informational picture shown when selecting them. Should perhaps be changed for consistency.
