Yesterday I found that the Gaians had an AAA transport cruiser - but should not be possible since I can't put the AAA ability on a Cruiser with a Transport module.
Also, the University claimed to have Clean Conventional Missiles - but missiles cannot have special abilities.

Yea, I had noticed this also. I had some automatic designs that were named AAA Destroyer Transport or AAA Fusion Transport or something. Now when I went to the design workshop and loaded the same unit it would not have AAA special ability. It does not allow me to add AAA ability to a unit with tranport module. But now on the unit stats screen it had AAA list but not on the workshop screen. I think this could be a bug.

I'll make a wild guess: Your are both using the beta 2.0 patch?, Well just add it to the list of bugs in this patch.
btw. I've experienced this problem too, the most annoying is that you can't upgade, retire or obsolete these buggy designs.

Wait a sec, come to look more closely at it, it dosnt say beta anywhere, must be in my imagination, it sure feels like a beta.

I have played as the Morgans and I had the ability to build 'Clean Conventional Missles.' All that is different seems like it takes more time to build the clean types of missles.
I am playing with the game without the beta 2.0 upgrade.So the beta could be trying to rectify the missile and transport thing.

I have also noticed that the AI can build cities where I cannot (At the top of the volcano and on rocky squares without first leveling the square).

I've built cities at the top of a volcano right on the red lava. Is it a bug or something? It is kinda odd to have a base over a volcano.
