That said, there are some REALLY annoying bugs in this build that we just didn't have time to address, at the top of them are:

BUGS to be fixed for next build:
+ If a ship is on autopilot, it won't select that turn.

+ Autopilot begins at the start of a turn rather than the end.

+ When you build a ship, selecting another ship or re-selecting that sip will start it all over.

+ There is a crash where when your ship is destroyed, not all of the pointers are cleared.

+ Still lose keyboard focus A LOT

+ We really need to implement the planet list.

+ Need to make the event window support word wrap and have items stay there for a few turns.

+ AI needs to be tweaked to be able to purchase things and deal better with ship maint.

+ MUST be able to decommission ships. Expect this to be put in probably in a minor Monday update.

Just dl'd it. Nice!

The game-play is improved with the lower prices on Colony Ships and Scouts. Am really looking forward to get in depth with this build.

I can't wait to get started on the Diplomacy Screen :-)

NOTE
+ Currently the cyckling on the Planet Screen is from system to system. It seems more logical to me that it was from planet to planet, but that might just be because of the planet list hasn't been added yet.

ADDITION
+ On the Planet Screen you can only purchase the currently displayed Project. Add to List for build next Friday:Fix it so you get to buy the project you pressed the "Purchase" button for?

Now I have two GCAnomolies.ANOMOLY-files. One in the galciv-directory and on in the data-directory...Not that it makes a problem, cause they both contain the same thing.

Is it possible to get timestaps in the debug-file? Then one could check the clock when something odd happens in gamplay and check the file easier.

+ Foreign Policy Screen

Is this supposed to work, or is it simply there for our comments? I'm default in war with 5 civilizations I can't see, but assume to be the other races in the game :p

Like the layout, though..
