Let the game run at 4x speed and stay in galaxy view. Look at the fleets in the ui: (jumping), no fuel, etc.
And the best the enemy conquers your colonies because their fleets have not these problems their attack orders work

Because of only 10 MiB is allowed, fileio:
23 MiB https://file.io/5Z2ChKzeJ7c2

Till the game works. This should be at least 30 MiB.

For example invasion fleet attacks a civilian ship half galaxy away. Invasion fleet have to fly to planets start invasion and attack spaceport bases and enemy ships to protect the troop transports.
Invasion fleets prefere to be repaired at colonies although colony has spaceport with 4 free construction yards. (my empire colony and my spaceport)

The graphical bug

dave2807 wrote: Mon May 22, 2023 2:11 pm Not really a bug report more of a suggestion but any chance an option could be added in game set up to evenly spread the empires on map when the Galaxy is created? Currently a lot of my games end up with Empires spawning way too close together and just blocking each other from expanding which leaves large areas completely empty. I have tried manually setting up empires and using the distance setting but always the same thing Empires seem to spawn in clusters close together. I remember DW Universe you could assign empires to spawn in a sector of the map. Random is good in strategy games but an option would be nice to have the Empires more evenly spread so they can expand and provide more of a challenge.

Yes, that's on our radar, we'll see if we can improve it with the next round of updates.

Any chance of improving the option in the galaxy setup for where in the galaxy you want to start? Right now it rarely seems to be able to satisfy your request, at least for things like Spiral and Elliptical galaxies if you request to be in the inner area.

Thanks, if these are immediately reproducible from the save you provided, could you please confirm which fleet and which world we should be looking at for those issues?

btw.
Is there any chance we can also disable the nightcity lights?
I do not like to think that all planets are haunted and the ghosts need lights.

p.s. next day:

Here a screenshot thats clearer than ever:

Is this an unmodded game?

Thanks for reporting this. Do you have a save that demonstrates these? Does reloading and saving resolve the issue?
