Two Starports

WTF?

So i was playing a huge game and every time I captured a planet all it had built on it was starports. Sometimes up to three. Has anyone else experianced this or is it just a bug. I was playing on tough mode btw.

Bug. Been noticed before. You'll sometimes see copies of other 'single' buildings, too. And sometimes those starports are built on unuseable squares (yellow or orange squares).

Yup, been brought to frogboy's attention... hopefully it will get dealt with in next update... Another note on that, if you leave the starport that was built on the non-usable square you occationally get a non-usable starport.... I've had to demolish and rebuild several AI starports in my last couple of games. Its getting to the point where I essentually wipe-out anything the AI has built and start from scratch unless the planet is already fully developed....

The extras, from what I have noticed, are all in the process of being upgraded to normal buildings. So don't delete them, it may just be a bug with the icon it shows. There should be one starport with no upgrade symbol.

I've been seeing the opposite (sort of). A world defects to me and it has a Starport. But, I can't build ships from it. If I enter it, I can tell it to build a ship. But, when I go away, it doesn't build it. Also, even though the Starport shows up on planet, under the global planet status screen, it shows "No Starport."

Hmm.... I had a weird bug in a recent game, playing as Altarian. The Terrans would continually build a manufacturing capital, then start "upgrading" it with soil enhancement, then build it again. on and on and on and on.

OT - I sure wish they would let us turn off that stupid "%race% has built a %thing% on %planet%". I really don't CARE that someone now has a politcal capital and would prefer if the pop-ups didn't happen and get in the way of playing the game.

actually i think you can turn off the pop ups on the options screen
