Trades and Gifts

[Aub]

We are trying to trade planets and ships between partners in a multi-player game, and out of 10 attempts hardly one is succesful. The Messages simply never arrive.

What are we doing wrong? Is there a secret to succesful trading? Is it a bug? Or is it a feature (communications are not 100% reliable? I don't think our enemies have developed intelligence yet).

It is a bug but there seems to be no practical way to reproduce it. Here is an old thread a found with search "Problems with SEIV?". (http://www.shrapnelgames.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=23&t=004177)
