Re: 1.1.3.4 Public Beta Update Available

try validating your files in you're on steam? I had 100+ files that needed to be replaced when i finally checked, and a lot of the issues subsequently disappeared. Well, appeared to, at least.

1st invasion of Ind somewhere before here

Colonisation trumps Invasion WAD?

It's happened to me a couple of times, where my invasion of an independent suddenly results in the independent going to an AI empire and the disappearance of my invading force, though with the reputation damage for invading intact.

It appears, on closer inspection, if a coloniser starts to colonise ...

RE: Spaceport retrofitting anomaly

<t> there does seem to be an issue with retrofitting spaceports on reload: it's hard to track down, but appears to be something on the lines of if you save a game while a spaceport is in the process of retrofitting, a reload will revert the spaceport to the orginal size, and subsequent attempts to ...
