A few bugs

Diplomacy/Trading screen:
1) Wanted to end the game quickly so I traded for all the enemy planets.. the resulting list overflowed the existing area for the player's offer, and started writing to the area for the computer opponent's responses
2) If you have enough ships to display the down scroll arrow, add the last ship on the list. The arrow disappears as normal. Instead of trading the ship, cancel the operation, then go back in. The down arrow is no longer displayed.

Other Areas:
3) The system name is still being written to the star map prior to the confirmation of the name (wasn't sure if this had been addressed in the fixes)
4) A re-emergence of an old issue. I noticed again a Battlecruiser that had more hitpoints than it's maximum allowed. eg 27/24. It had previously been in battle, so it must be related to the repair figures again.

Apart from these issues, great beta. Loved every minute of playing.

1) I'm not sure if that was intentional or not, but we'll have to address it regardless.

2) ok, that ought to be easy to fix...I hope. :)

3) No, we haven't done anything about it yet. It's still on my list, though.

4) Hmm...I'll check it out. It could also be related to bonuses or starbase bonuses...Was it one of your ships, or an AI ship?

I noticed that with a minor race, after selling technologies to it a few times, it's amount of money went from about +3000, to a negative six million or so. Looks like an overflow, but it's money supply stayed in the 3000 range up until this point. It's happened in multiple games of mine. I usually ask for tributes lasting around 30 years, so that may have something to do with it. It doesn't affect gameplay, as they're still just as willing to trade for the same prices. I haven't tried this with a major.

An overflow of some type shows up on the final, game summary screen as well. I'll post more specifics when I get home and take another look at the specifics.

Looks like someone overwrote my change that made sure that the hitpoints didn't go over the max possible hit points.

I made a change that should fix the flaky scroll buttons.

The overflow on the end-game summary screen was in the Technology column. The Altarian race, which was knocked out of the game early on had a value of 190,190,648 in that column. The next highest value was the Terran's with 5034.

The Altarian's had researched 17 techs with the most time intensive on being "Basic Environmental Control".
