I would point out that this game has known problems with localization settings. This could be the cause of the strange characters in place of the accented ones, although the bad translation would be Paradox's problem.

Ferlinks (Ferlings?) are a race a la Ancients. They haven't been described in the SG cannon AFAIK. I always pictured them as more cat-like. That being said, it was a funny episode!
This seems like a bug/exploit to me. That being said, I don't see how they could fix it fairly! Neat trick tho
Your sound drivers need an update, although this shouldn't cause that kind of problem
But what if they don't have money? Or you don't want money? I agree with the OP tho, we need to make this more simple.
How is this a gamestopper? I don't even read those ranking since we don't really know how they're calculated...
Try creating your own mod and changing the tech descriptions. The file can be found in %gameroot%\data\%language%\TechTree.xml
Yeah, that would be great. I second the notion, but somehow I don't think it's going to happen. It would be just one more layer of possible problems that SD would have to deal with.
Submit the game to [email protected], with your debug.err
The Re-supply center is a super project, so everyone can get one at the same time. I'd e-mail the save to the bugs e-mail, along with your debug.err. Best bet if this happens often is to set the autosave interval down to 0 turns, which then will always allow you to reload on the last turn you played.
And maybe you could pay them to attack specific people. Mercenaries anyone?
I think this is an excellent idea, however it would ahve to be written into the engine by SD. Hopefully they get included in the expansion, but don't hold your breath. It certainly would give us a reason for including sensors in our ships designs
I was under the impression that that was what was going to happen... If not, hopefully we're early enough in the design cycle for SD to make the change because otherwise you're right, the AI would be colonizing planets that, while not really useful, are in the middle of your territory. It's bad enough having the AI building starbases all over the place, having their planets in your territory would be maddening!
I have this too. I've found that if you zoom in two steps, then out one step the borders (sometimes) come back.
Yeah I've lost a couple of times. Usually I've got my taxes set too high - I lower them a week before the election, then raise them back up - and I get voted out. Very annoying...
The ships have to be exactly the same. If you have 1 ship of destroyer type A, 3 of B, and 2 of C, where they're all the same except for a weapon - clicking on the upgrade all button for type A will only upgrade type A.
Hate to tell you this buddy, but if you're still running a beta you don't have the latest version. You should update - the AI is lots better in the more recent versions.
Update both your video and sound drivers, although I'm note sure that that card is even capable of running this game.
Oh, whatever happened to the Rate Post button... Are the saves you are trying to load from 1.2? If not, that could be the reason - loading different saves in different versions can cause weird things to happen.
It's almost as if there's a flag somewhere in the code that's not being reset. Since we have no way of telling if they're trying to orbit the planet they could be constantly trying, then failing and waiting for the next turn. And since the planet still doesn't have any of their ships in orbit, they send more... I see this a lot, its very annoying.

This is a very good idea, but perhaps only for military starbases. Or maybe military bases get it by default, and the other two (or more for the asteroid bases) types require an upgrade to get this to work? However it is done, I think it would really help.
I think he should do the opposite. Anyone unwilling to try fixing something, especially software, before whining (sp?) and quitting isn't worth the money that SD would have to spend on support. Same thing for the friends probably.
You lowered your resolution to 1600x1200? What was it before?!
I've never been a fan of fantasy; if I want Orks I'll play Warhammer40K. I prefer RTS type games, but I'd settle for a RPG as long as it's not MMO. Multiplayer is fine, but it _must_ have a signifigant single player mode as well - like Freelancer, but with a proper working economy.
