Looking at the GitHub thread, Vezzra and LGM-Doyle found a solution during the past week.

The most recent Mac test build (2016-03-29.fb14c08) exits without a problem.

Okay, I see that the ship costs do go up. I had forgotten the original cost, and the numbers are already "baked in" when I'm designing. Suggestion 1: Have a note in one of the windows (production? ship build?) about how much ship costs have gone up. Maybe "With 35 ships in service, th...

Single weapon ships are "optimal" since armor is significantly cheaper than a comparable weapon. I'll have to think if it makes sense to build "tanks" instead of "cannons". (Obviously, that changes if you have Etty or Mu Ursh for that extra weapon rank.) Maybe I'm remem...

?!?!?!? wtf, my ships don't get build .. no error message, nothing .. how exactly does that work?? when is the ammount replenished? or can I finish troop ships up to the total ammount of troops on the planet EACH turn? now that would just be a micromanagement desaster .. the I have to que the ships...

I'm glad you pointed this out.

I was wondering why my (3 x troop ships) was completely paid for, but not being built (until I increased the troop capacity of that planet).

For the most recent released test build for the Mac (2016-03-21.ef3e588), when I click "Exit" from the main menu, the program does not stop. After clicking Exit, the main menu window is closed: [debug] Client : (HumanClientFSM) ~IntroMenu ... but the program does not exit. It isn't doing a...

I'm playing along and in one of my first defense battles I notice that the enemy ship does not get destroyed. So over a few turns I observe the battle at my planet and see that the enemy ship only loses 2 armor points per turn - corresponding to the defense mines. At the same time my fleet is losin...

I am using the most recently released test build, and was not aware of the anti-supply modification.
Thanks for the info.

I wanted to check if the "accretion disk" modifier is behaving as intended. There might be a bug, or maybe the Pedia entry has me confused. It sounds like any colonies inside a system with an accretion disk will have their supply lines reduced by 1, but it shouldn't affect anything outside...

I use the "List" view for the Tech window. In the table, "Psionics" lists as 1 million RP. (Using the Mac test build that was released this week.) It doesn't actually behave that way. In the research queue and the Pedia entry, it shows the correct cost (600, or 100 if I've conque...

Right now the game is still evolving, and is not ideally balanced. Maybe chose the path less taken, for the added difficulty? (And provide feedback on the experience, for when decisions are made to better balance the game.) For example, I think the robotic ship hulls (robotic / self-gravitating / ti...

Shouldn't the Chato default focus (for a new colony) be Research, instead of industry?

The Humans do this, and they don't even have the racial Great Research.

Right-clicking on planets will bring up the planet suitability, which will list all species that currently populate your empire (and exobots, no matter what). I suggest that if a Xenoresurrection Lab is completed on a planet with extinct species remains, then that should be on the list also. I wante...

I guess the AI players (since they vastly outnumber me) have been the beneficiaries of the 10% up to now.
Thanks for the information.
