So first impressions, playing on smallest galaxy, 5 opponents on painfull.

* The amount of active agents is not updated when you conquer a planet with agents on.
* The AI values the colonization technologies too highly in my opinion. Especially when all the planets are colonized, there is no more use for them! Will see for some conrete exemples from my next game
* During the capturing of a planet some improvements got destroyed, the agent that was on one of them remained however.
* After conquering a class 11 planet and reducing it's PQ, I found it had 15 green fields?!?!? I have a save game to send of it, not sure if you can figure out what happened from it...

That's it for now, will get you more when I get more

Ok, new game, found a bug/anomaly that needs explaining: (have a save game to reproduce the bug, if it is one)

So:
- Load save game
- Use selected transport to invade the Lentz V system, note the PQ = 7
- Invasion tactic: Mini Soldiers
- Skip battle
- Receive a tech from plunder
- Return to planet and find Lentz V now has a PQ of 13

Using spies I verified that the planet only had 2 spots for terraforming (wich I have with Neutral alignment immediatly terraforms it) so 2 + 7 = 9 and not 13. Now I don't mind planets increasing their PQ just for me, but it's a bit odd no? Also don't have any PQ abilities selected from race menu.

If you go on to conquer the last remaining planet in the Lentz system, I saw it's PQ rise to 28!! I will email you the save with instructions providing you give me the address to send to.

Are you sure the 2 tiles you were looking at were the only ones? On my new worlds I can see two yellow ones. I think the orange and red ones don't show up until you get more terraforming techs. Maybe there were others you couldn't see.

Evil Muppet might be onto something there, or else I should find another thread to ask about the appearnce of all the less than class 5 worlds that are appearing on my gigantic maps.

Could there be some changes to the handling of upgradable planet tiles that means we can now see puny little worlds that have potential to be larger colonies?

I'm pretty sure I never saw anything below class 5 outside empire home systems in DL.

As I had all the terraforming techs, I could see only 2 red tiles.

As this is an open beta are we allowed to just upload our saves to a public (or private) unsecured hosting? If so I'll do that and give you all the link!
