Trade Questions BUG ?

from Stardock Forums
Why does the Alien Constructors and Starbases not appear in the ship list ?

An Alien race build a Starbase in your sector the only way to remove it is start a war.

Which reminds me it would be nice if
You could demand an Alien race move your Starships out of my sectors or else.

The BUG I noticed is when you try to trade something to an Alien race. You know when the colour is greem they will accept the trade. I usually keep asking for more until the colour changes to orange then back off.

Try this instead of backing off demand for much more, all the Alien systems, tech, money and ships. The text will change from orange to green again which tell you the trade will be accepted.

The colour is yellow when a trade is not accepted, green when the trade is accepted.

This Bug still applies to 4A Beta.

It really invalidates the game.

A minor race has 4700BC and you have a trade good you find out that they would give you only 900BC.

Well ask for 4700BC for 788858 months and they will agree and give it to you.

A major race has 12 planets, 20 ships, 3 techs and 100BC. They offer one planet and 100BC for a trade good.

Well ask for all their planets, ships, techs and 100BC for 363636months and they will give it to you.

It does not matter if the AI is dumb or genius the bug exists on all levels.

Yep, this is a major bug...well, kinda a cheat too. :D
But I tried a couple things...
A race had just tried to extort money/tech from me...so I turned around and for 1 tech, I asked for all but one of his worlds and 5000 credits for 53300 months. The text turned green right after I put in the credits part...and I got it. But when I tried to change production on one of the new worlds the game locked up. Loaded last auto-save and this time asked for all worlds but one, all ships but his first ship and 1000 credits for 5330 months. The text was yellow all the way until I asked for the next to last ship, then it turned green.
Seems the more outrageous the demand, it finally accepts it. Cool cheat, but should be fixed I guess.

Here is another bug-cheat in case which I mention before.

Go build something like an Avatar, then change your mind select a Scout. You can purchase the Scout for something like -456777453BC for 0 turns. The game hands over almost unlimited cash.
