Custom Race "clear" button - working? in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I've had this problem for several versions now, and always assumed it was on the list to be fixed. But it still plagues me, so maybe it's just on my end. I always play with custom races, and often I like to switch between different ones to try different tactics. When I first started playing, I noticed that races I'd played several times were getting an increasing logistics bonus added to their stats.

With some patience, I've recently had luck just waiting 'till I've had a 26 quality planet in my home sector. Yes, it takes on average 'bout 20 ctrl-n's, but it's very useful on the really hard difficulties. For the game I'm in right now, both Sol IV and one other planet in the sector started at 26!
