I started a brief game Monday as the Arceans, didn't get too far, and started up last night as the Torians. While my interface was properly bright green, every alert I got from my scout was in yellow.
I have also been stuck with incorrect hulls a lot of the time. After playing the Terrans, my game as the Arceans had Terran hulls. I avoided this in my Torian game by changing appearance to something else and then back to Torian before generating the universe. Is this related to the odd glitch where your economy and tax rates appear to be set at default, when they are actually set at whatever they were in your previous game?
