I've just had a strange game.
My Star Fighters attacked a planet and were destroyed. Yet they still provided scanner data (no fog of war), and when I moved all other ships I had, the screen focused on their position and something was selected. I couldn't move them, though, but they seem to still add to my empires military might.
The Game finally ended with a crash, after I attacked a planet defended by one Battle Cruiser with two of mine.
It simply crashed back into Windows, no message at all.
I've had this three times before, always when starting a game in the biggest Galaxy setting. Don't know if they are related.
