Installed DA tonight and started playing a new game as the Dregin. Set just about everything to random on a Large map. Had two planets and a few asteroid fields and had just finished researching beam weapons. Made one ship to act as a light fighter and started production.

I then noticed I had a ton of ships around my main planet. These weren't the ships I had built and they didn't show up in the shipyard list. But every turn I kept receiving more and more of them. I must have had about 9 or so fleets of 3 ships each. The game created them as fleets not me.

Anyone else run into this? Is this a mega event bug maybe? If I had kept playing, I would have won easily because I was the only one who had any military BEFORE I started receiving the free ships.
