Just as FYI, I notice the same thing. No fleet commander. Playing the updated base game. Appears to happen when near a sun.

Thanks red - Everything you say makes sense. Which leads to the next logical thought. When I get on the airplane with no internet connection, will I be able to launch those games. Sure that question has been asked before, have to do some looking around. Thanks again.

May not be the place to ask but here goes. Have GCIII on my home desktop computer. I am going traveling with a new laptop soon. From a license point of view, is it ok to load GCIII on a second computer. Trying to play by the rules here. Naturally I have a steam account, so that has to go on the laptop. Going to be doing the same thing with Civilization V BNW, so same logic would apply. Is it just a case of only have one copy running at one time which would not be an issue. Don't want to s
