It's not a bug per-se. The ship shows up as a colony ship when I mouse over it. When I looked in the main viewer I saw the construct button was depressed. Didn't know how that came about, so I upgraded to colony ship and problem solved. Guess I need more time to get comfortable with the mechanics. Thanks for the posts. The main screen should have read "Constructor"

The planet is in my territory. I loaded my colony ship with 500. The system also has a size 4 planet that I cannot colonize as well. I did need life support on the colony ship to reach it.

I'm trying to colonize a planet called Weber 1 (class 10), not owned by another race. It's the last avaiable planet and I've tried with three diffent colony ships, no luck. What am I missing? I'm at the normal level with two alien races. Anybody run into this?

AA is off so I'm off to kick some Alien Butt! Thanks, This forum is great! I'm glad there is a place to go, cause I'm sure to have questions with a game this huge. So far, it's been an awesome experience.

I'm just starting out with small to large galaxies and don't want to encounter problems when I'm ready for the Gigantic. Will I encounter problems (crashes or slowing down?)with my Video Card? Card Name: NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 Since this is a very complex game (Great!!) it will take me awhile before I get there, and want to be prepared. Would you recommend something else, and if so... what would work best for my system. DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.09

I can't load a saved game since I upgraded with the bonus pack. I can started a new game, but there were things missiing in the gameplay: 1. I could not access the ship/planet screen. 2. I could not see the ship descriptions when scrolling over them while docked at my starbase. I saved the game, quit, and I get an error when trying to load it. Is there a bug in the bonus pack? Help!
