I've now got 2 "null errors" when trying to post with opera and am using IE now. So if despite saying "null error" the previous posts made it and there are now 3 in a row then feel free to delete 2 of them

Heres the actual bug report.

I noticed this bug in 1.2 (first beta) and assumed that it would be fixed and stopped playing. I since then downloaded the newest version and noticed it still isnt fixed.

Here is how i spotted it. I was at war with race A and race B gave me 3 ships. I gave them back to race B and still 100's of turns later i can see the sensor radius of where they were last. And i dont mean "fog of war" see them, i mean really see then, when something moves in the area that they were last in i can see them. Since i am on the bottom right corner of the map and the ships they gave me were on the top of the map and far beyond my max range i am nowhere near that sensor bubble yet it still shows. Best i can tell when i gave the ships back to the aliens they merged the fleets together the very same moment and thus i can still see as if the ships were mine?. I have a save of the situation if anyone is interested in seeing.
