While playing, I accidentally sent multiple colony ships to the same planet. Both created colony capitals on the same planet. Since there were multiple colony capitals on the same planet, it counted as two different planets on the planet list. When creating planetary improvements I was only able to access one planet. The other capital remained idle. Since you can't have an idle planet, the game play halted.
When we placed a colony ship placed to explore, and combined it in a fleet with other ships,the entire fleet would not move.
In our opinion, we would like to see the Galactic News Network to return to the game. We miss that.
