--fixed the invisible ship bug Is this the bug that caused ships to randomly disappear and you had to reload a saved game to fix it? I remember you said the bug would be too hard to fix because it was deep in the database.

Yes. Our Holy Lady spent quite a while finding the bug in the graphics routines, I believe they are called pear. Cari supplied a good esplination of what, where and how in the that thread.

If I remember correctly she had to modify the game to conintue running after all the victory conditions hadbeen met and then just hit the turn key 'forever'. :D

Eventually didscovered it was a mem alloc problem.

Does anyone have a list of technologies that increase your logistics score or do I need to wade through the tech databases to find it myself?

Its apparent to me that researching technologies that increase your logistics score early is important. You will need at least a few +1 bonuses to utilize the resources in your empires area of influence without crippling your economy.

Oh, and I think it might be a good idea to have the base starting logistics dependent on selected galaxy size. Similar to the way range works. On the larger maps, logistics should start at 1 or 2 maybe.

Yes.  It wasn't a quick fix, and it involved a lot of cursing a former developer's name.

Does it means it's one of those "only 1 per galaxy". If so, I hope I get it first (please, please, please...)

From what I have read in another thread (1.2 is out), it is a Galactic Achievement :)

I was afraid so. Usually I'm not very lucky in those kind of races ...

[Peace Phoenix, it would seem we are alone in this forum!]

I have a game going. Apparently it is not wise to download before finishing it.

It is a Galactic Achievement, not a Galactic Wonder. Everyone gets one. :D

Please stop making this game better and better! Still loving the moddling and with the Map edtior now..

I may have missed it, is there a way to randomize a map in the map editor?

On my hope to have fan list :)

1. More stars - maybe adjustable from 10 to 50 percent more.
2. Big and bigger maps. Might slow down some of the slow machines.

Keep up the great work.
