Autodetect anomalies bug

from GalCiv2 Forums
Well after ship can not detect any more anomalies it gives a message - that's cool addition.

However if later you double click on ship and try to make it go again while still no anomalies around the checkboxs just disapear and no message given.
After that if you close the ship commands dialog you get "can't see any anomalies" messages as many time as you clicked on "autosurvay" button earlie - this is bug.

Btw: a bit unrelated, but why not to leave ship in "ready to get anomalies" mode ? - Meaning as soon as anomaly apeared the ship will start moving toward it .This will even the chances with AI a bit, after all computer always sends it's ships if new anomaly apeared while humen may miss it.

This works in GC1 for me. When the last anomaly is gone I send the ship in the orbit of a central star. When a new anomaly appears the ship automatically goes after it.

I agree with Lord KIRon, when it the ship doesn't see anymore anomalies the survey mode unchecks itself.
So it would be nice to check the explore + survey modes with a priority for surveying, so when a anomaly apears it stops exploring and go analyse it.

it apears also that it doesn't see anomalies in fog of war when i can see them in tactical mode... is that a bug? if i know where they are why not my survey ship? I suppose the map memorises the position of what i've discovered, the survey ship should be able to go check the zone to see if the anomaly is still there.

Thanks, the game is awesome
