1.09C

The active governor used to replace TGs/wonders that have been built by the AI with improvements in the governor list if the AI beats the human to completion. I'm not sure when this was changed but the governor no longer does that for me in 1.09C.

Political capital fails to move the political capital icon from Sol to the new planet.

When the game starts, sol has a political capital icon on the main screen. When I research and build a political capital later in the game no icon appears on the new planet. This is with version 1.09C[b].001.

Bug in Research listing when sorting by months left (could be in cost as well) v1.092000 .

When I change gov sepending % on research. its adjusting the table..

I have it set on the quickest (at the moment its 1 month) when i move the % on research its changing other techs so that they get completed prior to the one i have selected. I then select the quickest agin.. and lower the reserch % and it shifts back to its old position.. GRRRRR... Very Furstrating and makes it impossible to pick and adjust for best budgeting

oh.. and see my notes in the beta4 commentry

I'm playing 1.09C[b].001 according to SDC and got a *lot* of invisible ships in the game. A quick search on the forum turned up a couple of hits but no fix other than save/reload. Is there anything Stardock needs to help debug this?

FWIW I'm on DirectX 9 and don't remember ever seeing this issue while on DirectX8.1.

I wouldn't call it a bug per say but the AI's tendency to build colony ships and transports when being attacked is killing it. In a maso game last night, the Torians were at war with the Altarians. The Altarian fleet destroyed all ships in orbit around the Torian homeworld, which had a population of some 20B. The Torians then proceeded to build combat transporters and colony ships, which the Altarians gladly destroyed dropping the Torian population to under 1B. WHY????? It allowed me to capture the planet with a single transport!

Needs to be fixed. The AI should never build transports or colony ships on an undefended world when being attacked. It should focus on military ships instead.

Last night, the Arceans surrendered to the Altarians. About five turns later, they had an event which I'm guessing was to change their alignment. I know I've read of this bug somewhere, but I thought it was fixed in the latest beta... :notsure:

Sometimes resubmitting is all you need to do to get rid of an anomalous score.

 

Don't know if it's a bug but I needed to resubmit as the system didn't seem to see the first submission.

eyemtheman: It could be a sound problem. Try running this http://www.stardock.com/files/ms_mp3codec.exe Also, do you have windvd or winamp3 installed? Or any other media player other than Windows Media player?

 

 

AI building ships without required techs?

I create a plain tech, and a single ship that requires it. My new tech depends on CommunicationTheory, so it's really early in the game. The new ship is a new colonizer (called NewColonizer) that is better in all ways, but depends on my new tech (called NewTech)

On a tiny map, where I can meet aliens very early on, I see that right off the start they are building NewColonizers instead of Colony Ships. If I try to trade tech's with the aliens, or retire and look at the summary screen, they haven't researched NewTech, and in some cases haven't researched any tech.

An AI cheating issue? I thought it had to follow almost all of the same rules?

Will the invisible ships problem go away when the XPack comes out? It's kinda strange when you upgrade a starbase and it disappears... :notsure:

It's not a bug, but is it possible for the delete game saves fuction to be put back? I loved being able to delete gamesaves so easily. It seems to have been replaced with the 'retire' function.

ummm... I think its a bug.. or is it cheese..

when i capture some planets their trade routs remain with me. IE: alien trade routs with me .. not me with them.. so I remain getting income from them. and they still apear when i look at "ALL Trade routs" untill I have wiped out that empire entirely.. what i end up seeing is alien trade routs originating from my planets going to some other of my planets

another bug..
When i try to give another empire a system they say thanks but sometimes (late in the game) it doesn't apear on their system list.. I have found a way around this .. if i ask for say 1 influence point then the trade goes through..


I have reported at least a dozen bugs so far.. and i think that 1-2 may have been fixed.. the others remain.. I'm wondering if i'm wasting my time reporting them.

and if when the expansion pack comes out if any of them will be fixed by then.. or even later ? Will bug fixes be an ongoing thing.. or when the budget runs out is that it ?

My stats always list me as bring #1 overall, no matter what my stats actually are. I mean, I don't need my cabinet to shelter me THAT much from reality.
