- "Love Mushrooms" are a test and a joke. Let's see who doesn't read this list and writes a post complaining about them. ;)

Known problems:

1) Clicking on a freighter in the stacked ship list can cause the game to crash.

2) Weird assert error on occasoin when exiting game.

3) Most of the cooler features aren't in yet. ;)

4) Sometimes your ship or enemy ship will leave orbit on top of another ship making it a pain to access.

5) Espionage and Destabilizing doesn't cost any money

6) Cannot trade influence yet in diplomacy (not worth anything yet anyway)

Let us know if we're on the right track. Thanks!

Wow, what a list!

I have an addition to the known problems, tho - unless you have solved it without writing it here...

7) Ppl with Swedish/Danish/Norweigan regional settings cant write the @-sign in the metaverse submit-screen. Also not use chars like åÅäÄöÖ

Hear, hear! But then again, we might be the only two people wanting them? At least we need to have the @-issue solved, one way or the other.

But if you cant solve it any other way, I'd rather have a button that inserts a @ instead of having it fixed between two fields as in LWN.

Not that I like that solution either :p

Hmm so how do you write email addresses?

Hrrmmm. I can write the @ sign in any other apps, just not LWN or GalCiv. Pressing ALTGR+2, where the sign is on our keyboards, just dont result in any sign at all in those two games..

But in real life I mean.
