Race creation/usage bugs |
Sorry if these have already been reported, but they're the first thing I noticed after starting the game. I like creating custom races, so these are really annoying. This is WITH the patch.
If you load a race you previously created, all your spent technology points are reset. This makes quickly starting a game with a custom race pretty much impossible since you have to go in and allocate those tech points all over again. Shouldn't those point expenditures be saved out with the race if I save it? If not, can we get an option to enable that, please! 
Also, if I select a Racial benefit such as Organic Technology, why is this not added to the list of techs I can spend my initial points on? If I spend points to get level two of Physics, I get the Shields and Energy Weapon techs, but racial techs aren't showing up.
Work around for Starting racial techs
I was able to enter starting racial tech levels, but giving it the Racial Trait, saving the Race, loading it and then the racial tech levels were available. Bit long winded, but I created a Psychic race with starting Psychic tech levels.

Re: Bugs
Captain Kwok, when is the next patch due out? I am wanting to start a new game but if there is a patch coming out within the next week i will wait and just replay from start my last game.
Re: Bugs
I think we are a way away from a new patch as I have not seen any change logs since 1.33 and based on previous experiance I would expect some change logs before any patch
Re: Race creation/usage bugs
thanks. i will be starting a new game then.
I do agree with Darkbridger about using saved races. I have had a similar problem with saving custom races. Mine however is that i will periodically save a race during the game. when i try to load it i get an error message saying i hsave spent more points than i have. i have come to realize it is referring to the skill points since i have increased the skills i knew from the beginning of the game...i now save using different names so that problem is solved.
Another problem i have is even though i select racial traits they do not allow me to select the skills until i have started the game. then i research them just like normal. it did allow me to do it when i first installed SEV but not since then.
Bugs
There is a bug with saved empires and the tech being reduced to 0 levels for all items when the data files are changed (ie when you patched).
I've also complained that you can access the racial techs even when you've choosen one of the racial traits. I guess this one will have to wait until the next patch.
