Stardock: Have you seen these threads?

from Stardock Forums
I realize you guys have a lot going on and don't cruise this section of the boards that often, but I was just curious if you had a chance to add these issues to your list of potential future bug fixes.

Troubles with existing plain text data files:

Troubles with PopChange and GoodOption for Events:

In addition, could you please clarify a few things for me? These might be bugs as well.

These are all issues with the Event files:

1) OptString 8, "System Name", does not seem to work anywhere I use it.

2) OptString 3, "Ship Name", does not seem to work, even for Colonization events.

3) Colonization Attribute 7, "Star Influence Bonus", does not seem to work. I'm under the assumption that the Influence for the star system would move after selecting an option with this attribute. Maybe I'm misunderstanding?

4) Colonization Attribute 8, "Defense Bonus", does not seem to work. But it's effects just may not be obvious. It doesn't show up on the Planet Details screen, for what its worth.

No rush, of course. Please respond if you have the time.

Thank you.

5) It would appear that a Colonial Event Option that should yield a negative Planet Quality penalty does not actually affect the planet's quality. See Earthworms, GoodOption. The penalty shows on the Planet Details screen, but the PQ is not effected.
