Note for Cari:

I've noticed this also, in the 1.7 betas.

Its just the texture file, not wrapped around a planet model.
Doesn't seem to be all planets. Maybe just the homeworld (or maybe just altaria).

Hmm...I haven't seen this at all.  Did you load a game and then start a new one or anything like that?

no this is a new game. and this was a custom race taken from the Thalian Empire. So the Star is Named Thaila or whatever their star is called.

I was wrong this was not fixed here is a picture from my latest game just started today in Beta 4. I used several custom races prior to this game using mulitple differant colors and finally settled on this one. This uses the Thalian Empire Template turned into a custom race.

Yes, I received the PM and e-mail.  I haven't seen this with Earth...Paul, can you send in your custom race also? Maybe that makes a difference.

Hi Cari. I just sent along an e-mail with a screenshot of the same thing. I am playing Beta 4- I don't remember seeing this in B3. The planet in question for me was Thala, so it isn't just a custom race problem, although it might be somewhere in the settings. (I did tweak the colors) I was going to send a savegame also, but when I loaded it up, the graphic was normal, so for me at least, quitting the game and reloading fixed the problem. Hope this helps.
