The computer will create asteroid systems (systems with star and numerous asteroid fields), and then randomly place tiny planets in the same sector as an asteroid field.

Later after you can start making planets you can create a second planet from the asteroids in the same sector as a planet. Then you end up with 2 planets in the same sector. The planets usually flicker (one then other.) The sector icons then flicker making it difficult to manage planets. The sector view displays 2 planets. This makes it difficult to place forces to defend both planets.

There should be only one system

I can build a cruiser with over 30 security stations on it... a couple boarding parties will destroy them all and capture the ship too (300 crew). Seems like I'm better off building cruisers with 1000+ crew members than I am with placing (more expensive) security stations on-board.

Anyone else run into this issue? I'm getting sick of it being abused in MP games, along with the overly powerful BM drones (which can transit all-at-once without having to flag "simultaneous transit", and thus are the ultimate warp point breaching technology).

So is anyone else having difficulties getting into the PBW based community forums? Or is it just me? When I try to enter them the java script redirects me back to the PBW home page (the one that asks if you want graphics or text based web browsing).
