Hey I have been playing SOASE for a bit when I first got it a couple of months ago, and I recently felt like playing it again. But I also tab out (tab + Alt changes windows) and watch movies and TV shows on hulu I do however bring up the menu so the game pauses. So after about 20-30 minutes of moive watching, I go in again. The first thing I notice is that my ally has cut off the trade and cease fire agreement, which is wierd because before I tabbed out he was helping me kill an opponent. The second thing I noticed is that all of my money and ore is over one hundred thousand. 127000 credits 27000 ore and 16000 crystal. The third thing I noticed was that nothing had moved or if it had, nothing had been destroyed or conqured, which it should have been if it hadnt been paused because my former ally was in one of my planets gravity wells along with his capital ship. I also sometimes notice that when I do this the sound will start to play again until I tab in and tab out. I have that box checked that shuts off the sound when its minimized. So take as long as possible to fix this plz, I really like this glitch. But usually one glitch can be caused by something else that might give me problems. So just a friendly heads up.

EDIT: Sorry there is one thing I did not see. One of my planets WAS captured by the former ally AI.
