Did you go check your civilization stats to see if you lost that bonus when the tech was overwritten?

Sometimes when I am switching races using the tabs on the "Stats" screen the game will just crash. I am sending the relavent files. Unfortunately, I can open the saved game right before the crash and do the same thing and not get a crash. This last crash, I viewed the Arcean's stats, switched to the Yor, and then crashed when I switched to the Torians. Edit: I just remembered that this same crash happened in my game in the last beta, but I did not have SmartException and did not

Thanks.

I have been spying on the Thalans since nearly the start of the game, and getting the high espianoge level was easy. However, I have had 15+ spies in the Thalan empire spread out one per planet for the past 30 or 40 turns and I still have not gotten advanced level espianoge. Does anyone have any suggestions or are other people having the same problem I am? Thanks.

Manufacturing and Research are pretty easy to understand. Each factory or research facility you build lets you produce more. A rough formula is: building capacities * (industrial capacity / 100) * (spending distribution / 100). So, lets start with a newly colonized planet with only the initial colony on it and look at social production. The initial colony building produces 12 manufacturing points. The industrial capacity slider is at 100%, and the distribution to social production is 33%.
