Yeah, it's been fixed in the internal builds for a long long long time.

By fixed internal you mean it was fixed by the dev team? For some reason I keep getting it when I use culture and am about to take the planet or am about to lose one.
So do I need to get an update somewhere? I can't find it in the Stardock center anywhere if their is one(lil help there plz .

Would be nice if just for each map their was a cool video and mission breifing as to why you have to conquer the zone and whats happening at that time and whatnot, per race. So like you choose your profile and race and then take on the maps (video intros attached), and unlock them one at a time. The way it is now should be just for freemode or mulitplayer.
Either way hope they do something cool that will last and be fun for a long,long time. Otherwise people will get burnt out on single player fast and multiplayer will follow shortly there after. We will have to rely on mods and what not to keep it spiced up, though I imagine we will anyways. I look forward to the first Star Trek mod for it

Thanks for the info and I hope more info on how to stop that script bug

Its been fixed internally means they know about it, they've fixed it, but they haven't released the fix.

In the case of the stringID, it just means that a text message is missing from the games data files (either it wasn't added, or they mistyped the data that "points" the game at where to look) and as a result its throwing "no big deal, but..." kind of error.

He's not the only one But so many of the old threads are long gone and buried, that it's understandable the newer to the forum people not know (and can't find the search button )

Has anyone else had a game where your culture begins expanding in a system where you don't own any planets? This happened to me once I own three out of the five system and my fleet moved in and destroyed a couple of enemy planets, but I hadn't colonized or built any broadcast centers and my culture began expanding from the star. Is that supposed to happen or is it a bug? (If you ask, I'll try to find the replay).

It still counts star > star as one jump, so I guess it would be part of the mechanic that if you build broadcast centers sufficiently close, your culture would be able to jump. It seems a bit odd now that stars are unlinked, wouldn't that mean your culture would jump to every single other star, since they'd all count as one jump?

Still, the distance between stars (not counting beta 4 which brought them too close together so they overlap) is usually so huge that it would take culture ages upon ages to actually get to the other stars

Beta 3

I don't think that it is so much that stars are "unlinked" as it is that they are just fully meshed with each other and the phase lines are invisible.

In previous betas you could see the phase lines between them and see the culture spreading along those lines. It should be noted that ships travel faster in inter-steller space than they do inside of solar systems - when traveling between stars and they pass the edge of the solar system you can notice that they speed up tremendously. They then slow back down to normal speeds when entering the boundary for the destination solar system. Culture accelerates in the same way.

So yea, culture ought to travel between stars just like it does between any two other nodes.

Yea, I got your meaning. I just wanted to make it clear to some of the other people that there are still phase lanes... you just can't see them anymore and there is now a line from each star to every other star.
