2 more bugs:

mineral vanishing:
if your planet is bombed by enemy ships, upload minerals to
their fleet (which has no frighters!), next turn the minerals
are gone...

cheap starbase:
if you build an EMPTY starbase on a planet which has no base yet,
and finish it to 99%, then next turn you can still EDIT the
design, add all the weap and armor you like, and the base is
still 99% finished.
this means you only pay 1% of the full armed base, and 99% for
the empty base...

i think the first one is really hard to detect, and can be
painful in the late game, when you fight for minerals...

the cheap starbase trick seems to be really evil when you first
know about it, but there is a simple solution: allow it!
(and tell everybody how it works...)

this is not as hard as it seems, as it just changes the way to play the game... in the late game it is not that important anyway, cause bases dont add much defense anyway... ITs may get
and advantage, as they can build a gate quickly, but still you
need 2 turns, and if an it wants a gate up in 2 turns, he can
do it anyway... this is also countered by the fact that anybody
can build cheap MDs quickly, which is a disadvantage for IT, as
they are weak with massdrivers... so i think its fair again.
so - later in the game bases are unimportant anyway, and in the
early game the situation is quite different. once you got a plaent, it is difficutl to take it away from you early. so it
is much more efficient to grap as many planets as possible, and
build a full equiped fort there soon...
just changes the playing style, as usually it is more efficient
to colonize the _fat_ greens first to optimize growth, but so
it is better to get all greens early to get controle...

well... i played in 2 games, where this cheat was explained
to everybody first and then allowed - no problems had....

but mineral vanishing is nasty...

just what i think... open for discussion Smile
