Alpha 3 unplayable.

I tried to play about five times. Turn button after I click it turns into unclickable "idle ship". Earliest it happend on first turn. Most progres I made was turn 4 or 5.

I hate to ask the obvious but someone is going to 

have you tried using up the offending ships movement or passing its turn?

Another obvious question: Are you using the TAB key to advance to ships that still have movement points left?

Yes, I realize these questions are obvious, and most players know about it, but frankly, I am having difficulty imagining what else could be getting in the way.

 

On the other hand, there should be some way to force "next turn" without having to complete all of the tasks that can block going to the next turn. I tried "CTRL-ENTER", "ALT-ENTER", and "SHIFT-ENTER", none of which did anything I could see. Also, the key substitution map does not list such a function.

Oh, I can move ships. But there is no loss of movement. Selected ship vanishes from it's position, and instantly goes where I right click in range.

Something about your system?  The game has been completely stable (with bugs) on my computer so far (turn 123).

I suggest starting another game and retrying. Something similar happened to me in the before this update and there was a command I used to get past it (somthing about actionturns, but I'm not sure need to check).

I believe it was turnactions but have not tried it in Alpha 3

however this turns off all notices of idle colony and other things

Yes, that's right, thanks andros. You can use it to end turn and then turn it back on till you get to the broken idle ship and repeat... Not ideal, buf if you want to continue that game...
