I'm having a crash with v1.7 using the new starbase queue system. The starbase is a mining base that has an artifact that another civilization claims, but is out of sensor range. The game allows me to add the Xeno Archaeology tree to the base queue, but the game crashes when I try to remove it from the queue.
Agreed. Short of a fix, there needs to be an option just to turn off combat. As it is right now, it's grossly unfair to the AI and makes it challenging to test other aspects of the game with AI difficulty cranked up.
I'm experiencing this problem too. I'm playing the Drengin Empire, v0.31, if it makes any difference.
I've noticed that the manufacturing queue for planets doesn't get a scroll bar even if you queue more than six items. This is with resolution set to 1366x768, and UI size to small.
