I've been seeing this throughout every Beta of TA, including the ever invisible Drengin Super Dominators. In this Beta, I even had a ship disappearing in the Shipyard when I would try to upgrade a design. Every time I tried adding a Stinger III missile, the entire hull would disappear in the ship design screen. ONce I changed from trying to update an existing design and chose the same hull from my templates, the problem went a way. I had never seen that one before. While not game breaking by any means, this bug is annoying. I've sent in multiple saved games showing various aspects of this bug from previous Betas. I hope it's fixed before final release.

TS's are always invisible after destroying stars.

if you move them they appear again

I've had this for all the TA betas.

Yes. This is also a recurring problem. I thought it was fixed at one time but reappeared in the last Beta from my observation. This can cause crashes when one tries to update an existing ship design and those blank thumbnails are there. It can be resolved (for me anyway) by saving, exiting and then reloading the game when one sees the blank ship component thumbnail. I've found that when I do that, the problem disappears for the rest of the game and I don't have a crash. If I try to update that ship without doing that, it almost always crashes.

I think the invisible ships could indicate a corrupted ship file. Take that with a grain of salt because I'm no programmer by any means. However, I do recall that there were corrupted weapons animations at one time a few betas back which caused certain weapons not to appear on the screen. Once those files were cleaned up, all animations started working.

Here is hoping too!

Nothing from the devs so i doubt it.

CodeCritter has been working on this issue throughout the beta. So if you have any new samples of it that can be reproduced, by all means send them in to gc2bugs@stardock.com for him.
