I am running the latest version (as of the time of posting) - in a Gigantic Map, Challenging diff, as the Terrans, all the 1.1 options (no tech trading, etc) on, started with 9 races and worked my way down to about six. I am doing quite well. Everything seems to work fine, EXCEPT: On two occasions I have had a CRD (and subsequent load from autosave) when the Yor found a random "Ranger" bonus. It plays the movie with the text properly, I click OK and it CRDs! I'd say it w

New race popped up late game: jarkians. The diplomacy screen of them saying hello appeared. I closed it. I had a spare transport in range, so I invaded their planet the first turn they appeared! After all, they start with all kinds of tech and I didn't want them trading it. Emergency vote popped up The text was: "should we go to war against the %s" All the other text (after I conquered them) was fine and li

Actually I'm not sure but this might just be the game filling up the transport with a max of half the planet's population, rather than a bug. However I did run into the "invade a planet, and the population rolls over to 4 trillion" bug. I invaded a planet with 1 or 2 troop transports, most likely doing Information Warfare, and won, with 1100 soldiers left; when I got back to the galaxy screen the planet had a pop of 4 trillion.

Docking the ship there again caused the population to go to 5.2 billion Malkleth

From a programming perspective, the AI could treat them essentially as rally points. For instance, assuming the AI can use rally points effectively, I figure that a "star gate" might be, say, a kind of starbase, and of course you need two for it to be effective (and it would probably require multiple, probably a lot) of constructors to build, the AI might take the two most heavily used rally points (of which at least one is inside it's own s
