"Debug Message: WARNING: GetShipStylePrefix called for civ and civ has no ship style" Maybe try starting a new game and making sure that it has a ship style selected? I'm not sure it'll help, though, because it's shaped right. Also, other people with different problems have that warning. The longer than normal list of cannot find .png textures is the more likely cause.
I don't use transports for this, no. Anyways, they're happier when they have less people on them. I need to give them time to build a few morale improvements before I require that they have people to give me money, and by the time their morale is at ~100% they've already reproduced enough on their own.
Well, the main way to get into wars at lower levels is random events. If a race gets, say, a PreCursor ranger when the best ship has 8 attack/6 defense, they'll go to war. Also, wars happen quickest when you make several treaties.
Well, you can bring it to windowed mode, which will stop it from blinking and only have an occasional line through it. Try the sticky on updating your graphics card driver, if you have the ship preview windows rotating too quickly or other problems similar to that.
I have this same problem, but the hardware mouse cursor doesn't solve anything. Is it something to do with the graphics card, maybe?
