When I use the accelerated start option occasionally I get transport foils and on one of these foils is placed the following unit which which looks like a floating city...
Unit Name: p��
Unit Desc: ((1~xe!)-1+-1, super, Amphibious, Carrier, ECM, Grav, Empath, Fugicidal, Artillery, Blink, X, Police, Slow)
This unit is crashes the game if attacked though attacking seems ok... It is a really interesting unit, but I doubt if its supposed to be in the game at all (all those specail abilities are insane!)
After being attacked the following fatal error appears:
TERRAN caused a divide error in module TERRAN.EXE at 015f:004fcf1c.

I have the game saved so if you want to take a look at it I'll email it to you... all I need is for you to give me an email addy...
Thanx for the game and I'll keep searching for these hidden bugs...

Actually, we fixed this two days ago. Look for it in the first patch, which will be available when the game hits the shelves (in the US). What was happening was that it created a unit of type -1, which doesn't exist.
