I've seen the invisible ship and corrupt text bugs, as already stated exiting the game and reloading will fix that. I always use load civilization rather than restore, so I can't comment on that problem. With regards to the Space Sharks, they aren't really a problem for me and I like them, they add a little bit of extra fun to the game. Actually, I'd like to see more and different types of space creatures ala MOO2.

Welcome JNighthawk, I'm sure you'll be playing the game into the small hours like the rest of us! Don't listen to the other recruitment offers here, join the European Alliance and become an honorary Euro :D .

Good point kryo, without stalanes it would just be a complete mess. Actually, even with starlanes it's a complete mess :p . That's one of the (many) reasons that I hated MOO3 so much.
The minimum requirements (on the UK retail copy at least) specify that you need a video card capable of at least 1024x768.
I agree with Qui-Gon, a 3D map would just be a real pain when you're spending half the time rotating the view to see things properly.
That might explain why the site seems to keep going down a lot recently.
Personally, I chose maybe because I've only had the game a couple of weeks. Whilst I'm hooked now, I haven't played the game anywhere near enough to know if I'll still be wanting to play it in January.
Unfortunately the AI survey ships dont seem to understand that!
I've only recently started playing and have played half a dozen or so games. In each of them so far at least one space shark has shown up.
Thanks for the reply. Are there any plans to add an all planet auto-launch function in a future update?
Is there anyway to: 1) Set all planets to auto-launch ships without having to go into each seperate planet screen? 2) Set the rally point for each planet without having to go into each seperate planet screen? (i.e. set all planets to automatically launch new ships and send them to the same "default" rally point) There's been a couple of times when I've had to build and scramble some ships quickly to meet a threat and it gets a bit tedious having to go into ea
