Bug in small hull ship

from GalCiv2 Forums
Hey all, I found a pretty weird bug today while playing as the Arceans. When I placed a Laser IV weapon on a particular slot on one of the small ship designs in the ship building, the ship completely bugged out, turning invisible and not allowing me to remove any parts from it. It happened quite consistently to me, so it should be easy to reproduce. Here are some screenshots to better display what I mean.

First, we make a new ship.



Then we put the weapon on the troublesome slot in question. I've moused over the exact one that has caused this problem.



And this is the result of clicking on that spot to add a weapon to it.



Very weird, hope it gets fixed soon.

I'm happy to say we finally tracked down the cause of this bug, and it will be fixed for our next update.

Got another thing like this the other day:

I played as the Thalans and was building a new medium ship from scratch. The first weapon I tried to mount would consistently appear on a completely different spot, leaving me with no opportunity than to exit the shipyard, because I couldn't even select it to delete or remove it afterwards. That happened as often as I enjoyed trying it, so I reloaded the game from the last autosave file and everything was fine...

Perhaps this is the same thing?!

swh, that sounds like a different thing, but I have a good feeling I know what caused that.  Do you remember which hull it was?  Can you take a screenshot of it and indicate which was the bad hard point (where you attached it and it appeared somewhere else)?

Thanks in advance.

Sorry CodeCritter, I can't remember that and the savegames are long gone...
But since I plan to have another game or two with the Thalan next time, I'll watch for this.
