Re: New Bug? waste of time to post on this site
You're best bet is to e-mail your saved game file to . Be sure to provide necessary details such as your operating system, the name of the system you're trying to access etc.
My best guess is that it would be some sort or glitch with the ring world.
Try and be more descriptive when posting about a bug. You're first post provided little information on the problem, so most people had no real idea what you were talking about.
Re: New Bug? posting on this site has been a waste of time
Calm down, man...that's a pretty harsh attack there, unjustified, and not likely to do anything more than push folks away rather than get any suggestions, four days or not (time stamps indicate quite a bit less). It's not as though you provided a whole lot of information to go on.
I wish I could help you, and I'd bet that I'm not the only person who feels that way. Could it be that nobody has a clue what the problem is that you're experiencing?
All I can suggest is to take a turn that avoids that system and see if you can access it the next turn. If nothing else, that could tell you how deep the problem goes. (Well, I can also suggest that you be a bit more diplomatic in how you post. Acidic comments aside, this IS a friendly board where folks generally treat others with respect and without the favoritism that you have convinced yourself is here.)

LOL nice.
i have no suggestions. other than just end the turn and try and go to the system the next turn... as suggested above. sometimes the glitches just go away.

Re: New Bug? sorry !!!!
First off. sell your kids. you can get alot of money for them....
and it will free up your time.
Did you try ending the turn and accessing the system in the next turn?
We're making suggestions.. but if you don't follow them, we're going to stop and you can figure it out yourself.
We don't know what's going on. So just try some of the things we say. If they work. GREAT! if they don't then tell us and we can try something else.
You have to be careful when you edit files. There could be an enemy ship in the system that the game can't handle. he may leave the system in the next turn...
you may be hoopla'd and have to start over.
How many systems do you have it set too? From what i've read the max amount the game can handle is 255 and in my experience it doesn't handle over 100 very well.
PS. please don't create new subjects with every post.

Re: New Bug? sorry !!!!
I haven't tried that yet; but did you change the number of systems AND the maximum number of systems? I read that it was something like that. I might be a little innacurate. There's suppossed to be two settings to change n the files. Then, again this might not even be related.
Re: New Bug? sorry !!!!
what version did you start playing this game with? just not clear if you patched the game in the middle of your game or not? if you patched it in the middle then your best bet would maybe be to copy the save, uninstall SEV and put the previous patch back until you're done with that game.
If not then just ignore me.
