I'm running TA 196 with no mods, and I'm finding that some AI ships are invisible (for instance, in this game the Yor and the Korx).  I can see the shields on their home planet, but if I click on them I get the stats but just a blank where a visual should be.  Similarly if I try to inspect the ship in detail (in say the diplomacy screen) I get the stats but nothing where a visual of the ship should be.  Also some ships (like the Drengin) show the weapons (stingers in this case) but nothing else ... ie the picture is of a stinger attached to the base square.

Any suggestions?  In particular, I've only a couple of hours a week to play games, and I'm four weeks into this game and really don't want to start over.  Should I continue on and hope it takes care of itself, or play a different game while waiting for another galciv patch to fix it?
