Not a bug, but a minor oversite.

When you play a custom race and pick a color, then pick to play up against random races and get one that is the same color as yourself, You get your stuff mixed up with them. If you pick one color, and you end up with a race that is their color also, it should force them to use a secondary color that is not already in the game.

1 .Possible bug in starbase radius of influence.
Planets right on the edge, but still within the ring, do NOT recieve the starbase bonuses.
If intentional, this can be misleading if you use the new starbase area overlays to get the maximum number of planets into it's radius.
If not, then the actual area if not matching the displayed area.

2. In ship designer, some components have the size slider reversed once attached to the hull. I've noticed this on the life-support items.

BTW: I Love the new ship-designer screen, except it still removes all of the functional components. Is this still needed now there is an a option show only functional components in the grid? I would like to see the remove functional components code mapped to a UI button instead of automatically executed when pressing upgrade.

Thanks for listening, you guys are the best.

Two bugs regarding random opponents/

1) When choosing random opponents, it never chooses terran alliance as one of them.

3) Which I believe is related to 1, If you ask for 9 opponents it will hang when you press the turn button. Except if you do custom race, or pick the terran Alliance.

So it seems that it is missing the terran alliance in it's list of possible opponents to choose from. And so, when asking for 9 random opponents, its only got 8 to choose from (unless you are custom race or terran alliance anyway, then it does have 9 to choose from).

Background music volume dosn't work on startup.

I like to listen to the radio while playing so I have the background music volume turned all the way down, but when I start GalCiv2 the background music is playing at the default volume, until I go into the audio options screen and turn the volume up (the slider is on 0 when I go into the audio options screen) and then down again.

CTD during play. Simply hit the turn button and it crashes during AIs moves. Reloaded the save game, crashed again exacly on the same turn. End of the debug file shows the error quite plainly, I'd think.

Frogboy - I'm listing what I consider bugs wihtout the support of a debug message. I apologize for that as I didn't realize it was required.

1. Biggest problem I've had is the AI on "Bright" keeps launching suicidal attacks on well defended starbases. 1 ship against a a starbase with a trillion offense/defense weapons. I watched the AI do this 5 times in a row on almost consecutive turns. He didn't even scratch the paint.

2. It also appears (once again all races manually set to Bright Intelligence) that the AI seriously misjudges their chances in combat. I've seen AI battles where single Defenders ships attack a fleet of heavy fighters... with no backup any where around to take advantage of the situation of "if" an opponent was damaged (which they weren't). These suicide attacks seem to serve no purpose.

3. In the shipbuilder screen when I go to resize a component, it turns it around instead. Then I've got to flip through all the switches to figure out how to get it pointing the right way, and then I can reseize it again. It seems every "first time" I go to resize an already place component it flips is 180 degrees.

4. When upgrading ships in the shipbuilder I am totally crippled by the fact I can't work off my previous fully loaded design. I'd like to "load custom ship", and then swap out just 1 or 2 components. Right now since it wipes all your compnents out, I have no idea WHAT I had on the ship to begin with. The way things are now, I can't make incrementally upgrade ships. Which is what I really want to do. This feature hasd been asked for by a ton of my buddies since they started skipping ship building entirely do this this problem.

5. I had one crash in my whole game and I didn't know I could get a crash report. I will get it next time.

Here's the content's of the .CRA file for the CTD I reported a few posts above.

Purchases made on the same turn as a load is not completed on time. I think the problem is that no production or research is conducted on the first turn after load, the taxes are colected and money spent though.

From what I have noticed after loading game (quicksave) and hitting "End Turn":
1. Date is not incremented
2. No production or research is conducted
3. No taxes are collected (and money lost in my case)
4. Ships that had no movement points left regain them, so you can move them again for free. Sometimes they are also set on autopilot to bottom corner of the map, with no destination reported in their info however.
This is new game, started and saved under 1.1Beta, but the issue more or less was also present in 1.0X
Update:
Here is the screenshot from the dread lords campaign, salvation mission beginning.Notice the date, research, position of the ships, and the map with autopilot lines.

I’ve noticed two problems with the v1.1 beta, and they may be related.

First, after clicking "Turn" while zoomed out to get a wide view of my burgeoning empire, the button disappears and doesn’t come back. I assume this may have to do with trying to process too many objects in the field of view, but I’m just guessing. Initially, I’d get around this by doing a "Quick Save", quitting, and then loading the save. Later I learned to avoid it by making sure I was zoomed in before clicking the Turn button.

The second issue is that I was unable to upgrade ships I had previously defined in a different game — same race, same style of ships. Whenever trying to add any component to the bare hull + jewelry combo that appears in the editor, a notification would pop up telling me there’s no more room. I can guess this may have to do with bad saved games connected to the first problem’s initial workaround, but I’m by no means sure.

In the campaign, the Drengin will sometimes build useless "defenders" that have shields but no weapons.

I'm getting a CTD at the same turn each time, it seems. I'm leaving a short message on the 2nd CTD, then one long debug message. I've had 5 or 6 CTD at /near the same end of turn.

I have an issue with the turn button . WHen I click it I wait for ever and the button never comes back. I waited 5 minuts and it never came back. This is only after installing the 1.1 beta patch. My game that I have been playing for a couple days is messed up. I know that its a beta so im not upset , but its something to look into.
