The leader recruitment window still says "or drag-and-dropping cards to your bottom list of leaders" when the list is now on the left, not at the bottom.

That makes sense, so there should be a period at the end of the sentence. I would rather see it worded "they will soon learn that lesson." however.

I'm not sure the 3rd option on the Festron Survivors event makes sense if you're playing as the Festron. It says "The Festron will be hungry after stasis. Feed them a few crew members when they wake up." and awards a Festron colony ship, +3 intimidation, and -10% approval for 25 turns. Do you feed Festrons to Festrons? If you're the Festron, why the -10% approval?

I found a bug/exploit when my survey ship had a drone module.  When I used the short-range missile attack, I got two drones added to my fleet.  This continued until I made a normal attack, then they all vanished.  After that, I still got two drones added each time I used the short-range missile attack.  I already posted on Discord a link to a save showing this.  Derek indicated he was already checking it out.  I'm just putting this here so it is less likely to get lost.  It case anyone else wants the save, here is the link.

=============================

I'm playing as the Festron.  I think I've had all the events that allow me get other races on my planets.  I've built all the special buildings on my home planet to get those races there.  I wanted to see how long they lasted as non-Festron.  Some seem to have changed very quickly while others haven't changed.  I don't know what determines the speed of the change, but it has caused some interesting problems with those that are still non-Festron.  They hate being on a planet with one Festron, so imagine how they feel about being on a planet that has a lot of Festron and keeps getting more Festron and fewer non-Festron.  It has also helped in some ways when some individuals changed from what they were to Festron.  I found that sentient plants (Baratak Grove) can be changed to Festron.  I wonder if plants should be immune like the Yor and Onyx Hive.

All these extra beings of all kinds are causing trouble because my home planet is now full.  I won't be taking in so many in future games, but this time has been great for learning more about the Festron.  It's time to start colonizing more planets.  I wonder if I should colonize with Festron or non-Festron.

====================================

It took a while for me to find another race in my sector, but I finally found the Altarians.  That allowed me to research the Universal Translator, which I did after doing other research.  After I did research it, the Altarians initiated a trade.  This was just like in 0.45.  What was different this time was that the Universal Translator was not on the list of techs I could trade to them.  This means they had already researched it, so that bug from 0.45 has definitely been fixed.

================================

The Altarians still aren't doing much.  I met them when I met their survey ship.  When I got to the vicinity of their home system, they hadn't expanded.  I don't see how they could have missed a star system very close to them with two excellent precursor planets that don't seem to need any special tech to colonize.

Why haven't they expanded?   I guess I was too impatient.  They have colonized two worlds, but they weren't the precursor worlds, so I colonized them.  They aren't doing very well.

Even though I customized my faction portrait to something other than DL Bradley, it shows that I Seilore am DL Bradley not my Agite customized picture. Even that my citizens are torran not human.

In 0.45, every time I could trade with a race I recently met, Subspace Scanning and Subspace Streams were always two techs that I could trade.  Much later they did get those techs because I sometimes found them in sectors that weren't their original sector.

In my 0.50 game, I got this trade offer on turn 87.

Notice the Subspace Streaming is a tech I can trade to them, but Subspace Scanning isn't.  They didn't get Subspace Scanning from me, so either they researched it or they got it from another race that had researched it.  This is the first time I've seen this situation in any version of the Alpha.  It looks like they can research the first one a lot earlier now, so maybe they will get the second one earlier also.  The AI is getting better.

My first game on .50 is galaxy size Constellation, sector size Huge, Proximity "Distanced From AI". I thought that this might give me one other AI in my starting sector, but it turns out I'm alone. Perhaps that's because I only had 8 players.

Also, I've now explored the entire huge starting sector, and the only resources I've found are one antimatter and one promethion. I had Resource Frequency Common, Asteroid Frequency Common, Nebulae Occasional, and Black Hole Frequency Uncommon.

A saved game is here, in case anyone wants to look at it.

I guess I'll play with the resource settings and try a new game.

You need to update the text for Artificial Gravity to make it plain that Small Hulls can be produced with this Tech, and change the text for the old Tech that enabled Small Hulls to be built, since that Tech no longer does it.

Just was awarded +2 kinetic attack via an anomaly, my ship did not get kinetic attack. (.50)

The text for Conscription Policy has a typo: "excepted" should be "expected" I think.

Also the problem with not being able to use more than 5 of the Artifacts  in the bottom right hand corner of the main screen is still there. If there are more than 5 choices only the right most 5 of them can be chosen. This bug has been reported several times by several p[layers, including me going back to 0.40.  It may show and act right when you first get a new type of Artifact, but after you load a saved game you can not chose any Artifacts to the left of the right most 5 Artifacts.  Shift the below image over to farthest right that you can go to six icons for Artifacts that can be chosen, but the 1st (leftmost) of them can not be chosen because there are 6 Icons to chose from.

Sorry my attempt to paste an image malfunctioned. Take a look at the Discord  by me. it is in the lower corner of the image with the ruler of Arcea in the middle.

New update pushed to fix getting attack boosts from anomalies.

My resource bar tells me I have 34 Control, but the Enforce Law button is greyed out and the tooltip says that I don't have enough Control.
