I have noticed a bug in the current version DA 1.61.090 sometimes ships will disappear for a round. They are still there but will come back after moving the ship. This has happened to my own ships and to the enemy ship.
The ship will come back after loading or moving. It is very annoying since I have been attacked by the AI while the AI was invisible and I was unable to block the attack.
I have never had any mods installed and I reinstalled the entire game a few days ago because the turn button would not come back after pressing "Turn".
