Occasionally ships are routed around empty tiles. This wastes movement points. I have seen it happen quite a few times during games, but this time the occurrence was easily captured. The screenshots: The destination tile for the selected ship - from the orbit of "Randgrior IV" The route the ship is going

I have seen the same happen under the conditions you describe. I rather would like to see a popup the moment my colonizer is cruising for a planet and said planet is taken by another, than have it keep on slogging on until it reaches its destination and only then pop up this (misleading) message. Currently a lot of turns (for said colonizer) are now wasted, possible even entire colonization opportunities because you will be (too) late giving the colonizer a different destination.

Load from the main menu? Or a load during the game? I only have the latter. And never when the game was in it's early stages (less than 20 turns).

"Helmsman, full speed straight ahead." "Aye aye, sir." CRASH. Alarms start to wail. After the initial shock and chaos, self control returns to the crew. The tactical office announces "Sir, minor structural damage, shields are holding at 14%, some minor injures to the crew." "Helmsman, what happened?" "It appears we hid something, sir." "What did we hid?" "According to the ensign who just looked out of a window we hid a planet, sir." <p

I knew something bad had happened when i came back and my wall was very quiet and very still, not moving at all, pretending that he was not there at all.

[quote]Treat the nebula like a sensor fog and give a line of sight that you cannot see through the nebula, only 1 layer range from outside. Thus, one could hide ships in these nebulae or dust clouds, or a star-base hidden in them. I think this will bring in some strategic depth to the game. [/quote] Yes, please.

mormegil , After your first reply i was ready to repeatedly bang my head against the wall while continuously chanting 'Stupid, stupid, stupid...'. Luckily you made your second reply, after which i thought 'It appears i am not as stupid as i just believed.'. You saved my wall from suffering serious harm. My wall thanks you.

eviator , see [.51][Bug] Version number in main menu still shows 0.50
A thought occurred to me: The 'go to next' infrastructure would be every useful for creating ship patrol lanes. A ship in 'Patrol' mode would simply follow a (cyclic) way point chain, but when an enemy is detected it should abort motion and thereby alerting the player to the enemies presence - because the 'Turn' button will show an idle ship.
I sort of agree with you. But assigning multiple temporary way points to a ship/fleet would be inefficient both in processing (CPU cycles) and storage (memory allocation, memory trashing). It would result in a 1->n storage relation (where n is the number of temporary way points you set) for every ship/fleet. At the moment it appears as the "go to" internal infrastructure between a ship/fleet and a destination is 1->0..1 (storage-wise 1->1). A far better solution would

I'm not a graphics guy, so i make simple mockups. I could imagine something like this when zoomed in, and when zoomed out there might be actually two distinct icons: one for with and another one for a rally point without ships. You are a graphically minded guy (don't deny it
At the moment when you have a ship/fleet at a rally point and the rally point is on top, you do not see the ship/fleet on the map. When that ship/fleet is on sentry/guard it is easy to overlook it. I therefor request a visual cue to indicate whether there are ships 'docked'/located at a rally point. The mockup: Left rally point: no ships at that location, right rally point: there are ships at the rally point. <img style="vertical-align: baseline;" src="

A tiny hull with no components to keep your planets from being invaded by stray transporters. Really, really cheap. Ignore the highlights - i used this screenshot for a bug report.

Peregrine23, Made the following screenshots to prove my point. Check them out, with only 3 star bases influencing Earth. By far the best wealth generator is the production planet at 100% manufacturing. Even a 'financial' planet performs better wealth-wise when at 100% manufacturing than at 100% wealth.

Manufacturing is exponentially influence by production modifiers (manufacturing capital, star bases, factories, race traits, etc) and then converting it to income which in itself is exponentially influence by financial modifiers (financial capital, star bases, improvements, etc) which will generates an excessive amount of wealth.
