Thalan starbases can't build defenses.

Even with Hyperion Starbases and all the hull techs up to Medium researched.

Additionally,

Hyperion Starbases seems to do nothing other than act as a pre-req for terror stars.

Using the Terran I have the starting ability "Luck 25%" and have not seen one Luck related early finished research project as of Feb 2233. In the last game that I started and finished before the update today the Luck bonus would happen a few times at least during the early part of the game.

this isn't a bug but it is beginning to bug me.


the foreign buildings need to be in their own list. specially now that you have added even more terrain buildings to the game.

Another weird one: I clicked on a Yor colony ship to see its movement rate, to see if it would beat my colony ship to a planet both were aiming for. After doing so, I went to buy a colony ship, and the colony ship I wanted to buy was replaced with a Yor colony ship:



It's not even the one I clicked on, which was using the Constructor hull.

Mind Control Centers are still broken.

STILL!

As I mentioned in another thread:

1) Diplomacy - Unique techs are no longer flagged with *
2) Tech tree and tech details via right click - Unique tech no longer have a racial logo
3) Minors seem to be able to research any unique tech, mostly Arcean noticed (Weather Control for example)
4) Previously untradable techs can now be traded

Probably related to the default tech tree change.

Same here, the game crashes when I am invaded.

I think it's better for SD if we limit this thread to TA-specific bugs.

I double-checked the level 3 manufacturing facility for the Thalans, and they don't give any boost over the level 2 structure (this makes sense, as the structure is already as powerful as the industrial sector, and level 3 merely gets the price down to normal). So only the level 3 research structure needs to be given a proper description.

I am concerned about tech trading. Maybe I'm just imagining it, but it seems like everybody was trading techs like mad this version. The end of the weapon trees were researched incredibly early on, making the early and mid games more about industrial production than technology, and defenses are paramount this game - whoever can produce the most ships with proper shielding and weaponry wins. Also, most everybody has all kinds of unique techs - weather control, navigation stations, arenas, healing pools, etc.

I'd like to see more unique techs on the "no trade" list to make the trees feel like they matter, or at least make them much more expensive to trade.

I noticed this too, but then I started up a game without Minor Races (because of the whole issue with the Default tech tree.. and just for something different) and found that there seemed to be a whole hell of a lot less tech trading then.

I'll just add --

I crash consistently when an enemy attempts to invade one of my planets

that sounds like a saved game that needs to be sent in. if i had the info where to send it i would tell you.

Ok, there have been a lot of people campaigning for better minor race AI . . . I guess this is a case of "be careful what you wish for", because the Snathi are doing some empire building now

I haven't yet. I thought I had once, but I discovered it was just because I had like 40 constructors en route to various locations, and it ended fairly quickly.
