I was totally supprized by this.
1>I am playing a hotseat game and have a pact with one of the other human players. I sent a foil probe team to one of her bases and stole technology. just like in SP, an option was given for either a pact cancel, or stern rebuke. but here is the bug: the option to choose which penalty, was given to me, and not the other player whom I stole tech from! This has to be fixed. in a pbem game, i could have selected stern rebuke, and the other faction would be none the wiser. I have not seen this reported before, but if it has then sorry for the duplicate.

2>I am unsure if this is a bug or feature. A unit with drop pod, can move between bases alond a mag tube, reach the next base, and still be able to drop from the new base. (SP game).

3>Growth error: I have a sav game, that my base increased in population when the nutrient box reached half full, but it stated the growth would take 16 turns. i was not prepared for the growth at that point and it caused a drone riot. if the base would have not grown for another 16 turns, then the Holo i was building would have prevented the riot. SO, if growth is suppose to occur at the halfway point, then the turns info displays incorrectly and should be fixed, otherwise it is a growth bug. yes the city has a creach. if the creach is suppose to act like the civ granarys, then the nutr box should only empty half way when the population increase happens, and the growth of that base should be determined on the second half of the box, not the first half. I went back in the game and recreated this for the sav, but the funny thing is if i re-arrange the workers to change the food production, then it does not happen. please explain this discrepancy. do you want the sav file? whom should i send it to? i have sent sav bug files to Mr Morris before, but I know he is very busy and there may be a more appropriate person to send it to.

I have sav files for 2>, and 3> and 1> should not be hard to recreate, 1>is a 3 human hotseat game. [email protected]
