SE5 Demo Bug Reports & Annoyances/Requests

So i've found 2 fun bugs which could be exploits.

Happiness is backwards, if you choose naturally happy planets get unhappy and if you pick naturally depressed planets get happier.

Also if you use the C key to colonize a system your ship flys off to colonize and runs out of movement points, if you press backspace to cancel its orders and then press C again and pick the planet again it will move one space, even though its out of movement points. You can keep doing this again and again through warp points and all sorts.

Weapon mounts don't get upgraded when you upgrade a ship design.

If you run a a simulation and end it and then click an enemy location in a system you can move enemy around on the sector view, then when you click to end placement you go back to the simulation window and then get an Access Violation error and the game bugs out. Easily reproducable.

I offered a treaty, the AI countered, I re-countered, and when the AI re-re-countered there was no reply option in the news, and the message didn't appear under the diplomatic menu.

When the AI escapes in combat, you can reposition your ships in the sector screen (surrounding the AI) and then attack again... maybe escaping ships should move to an adjacent hex (random or directional) so this wouldn't work (and possibly have them end up into an occupied hex and have to fight/flee again).

Totally agree, running away doesn't work. Maybe another work around would be to not allow hexes with engaged units in access to the sector view. In such a way that you can still surround them when you attack cloaked, but not after the first round.

Still doesn't remove all the potential abuse... add sensors to a colony ship and use it as a scout, every time it runs out of movement go into sector view and place it on the edge of the map... should be completely safe from the AI unless engaging it moves it to another sector.

Any new engangement could always be centered around the defender, with the attackers at a set distance? The map is semi dynamic size wise so it could be possible.
