Well, I do see two errors in the OP.

1. The picture is not showing.
2. There is no description of the problem(s) Seilore is having.

Both are user errors.  

The only thing Seilore got right was the title.

Sorry, nothing was working right for me last night when I posted this. I don't know how to acctually insert a picture so if anyone could help me that would be great. I acctually have two pictures. One of which shows a major event giving me choices to react to a volcano that is predicted to errupt. the first choice is that we need to get everyone out no matter the cost(-121bc). The second choice is get as many as we can (-421bc, -100 million people). The third choice is shouldn't build a city there (-1000 million people). To me it would be stupid to not choose the first one being that it costs you the least, even though it would appear to be the most costly under normal cercumstances.

The second picture shows the Dread Lords fleet of two ships showing hit points of 4294967274/2HP of which each ship shows -23/1 and 1/1 under repair. Also prior to repairs the ships have had a speed of 2 after this picture they had a speed of 4. The turn after the picture this fleet moved an estimated 17. I've only seen two fleets of the Dread Lords so far one was only containing one ship in which if that was what was left of the prior fleet then it would have moved 25. either way I control and have unrestricted sensor view of the entire 3 sectors it is in so they didn't hide anywhere.

If anyone can tell me how to insert a picture I will post both of them and I'm sorry for the incomplete post last night.

You need to upload the picture to a hosting site and link it from there.
I have personal web space through my provider, so I can upload the file to their server and insert the link through the Insert Link button in the reply box.
If you don't have that option there are sites like Imageshack that will let you do it for free.

What version of the game are you running?
You should always post your debug.err info when asking for help with a problem.

Oops! Link still not working, and unfortunately I'm not the one who can advise on that.

BTW, the first situation decribed, the volcano on one of your planets, is normal. And actually I usually take the LAST choice. I am often playing good races for their stats, but I want my ultimate alignment to be Neutral. It doesn't take too long to recover the pop on a fully developed planet, and every little bit of scale movement toward the center of the alignment scale helps. I'd rather not have to pay the 2500bc to align Neutral if I can get there with repeated Neutral/Evil choices.

anyone else have a thought?

Do you have saves before/during/after the HP issue that can be used to reproduce it?

right now I have it as my current saved game however it is approx 1 yr later, otherwise I have a saved game from approx 1yr before.

Probably not hugely useful, then. If you can save frequently so as to catch it if it happens again though, it may help.

Okay here is another error. The Dominon of Korx has been destroyed but the ships remain. please explain. I traded a few ships for all thier planets also most of thier ships then became pirates however, some remained.



and maybe I can get this to work now so here are the other two pictures.






Also I do have a saved game of this latest error however, only after it occured.

here is a potential 4th error. A fleet of 1?

All I see are fleets of 10 and 3 there...

That might be useful, though it'd be more so if you still had the debug from that game. Still, you can try sending the zipped save of the korx problem with a detailed description of what's wrong to [email protected]. If it happens again you should immediately get a copy of your debug as I believe it records the distribution of 'orphan' ships when a race dies.

Send the image of the odd ethics event choice as a separate report to [email protected] along with a description of that problem as well (just knowing which event it is should be sufficient to address it).

The fleet of 1 is a pirate fleet located just below the fleet of 10 terrian alliace fleet just below my highlighted fleet. Next to the planet (Varuna V)

I'm not sure I'd call that an error. I use fleets of 1 to save me a step when upgrading starbases. You build them by picking them up from fleet rally points.

(I don't have wait for the confirmation window to pop up and then hit "Yes" when I send a constructor).

I use a gyroscopic mouse when playing and am sometimes across the room, so I can't hit "Enter". That pop up screen makes me have to line that tiny cursor up with the button while pressing the gyro button, let go of the gyro button and then hit the trigger. A fleet just moves in and I can see the menu from anywhere in the room.

A convenient error, if an error at all. (Please don't "fix" it.)
