If you Get strings not found look in debug.err

If you see any String Not Founds, please open your debug.err file from your galciv directory and find the related error message. This will help us find where they are being called.

I had just received notification that my latest social improvement had come through.

Finally, a "Kit Kat" Strip Club on Sol to help with their horrible morale problem.

Waiting with great anticipation for the accompanying animation (or at least a torrid descriptive blurb) I instead saw this;

"Error. G-string not found . . . "
