I've tried reloading my game a few times, and always the adjudicator no longer actually fires.  It behaves as if it thinks it is firing, but there are no particle effects, and it doesn't seem to be doing damage to nearby structures or starbases.  The referenced save file should drop you in the middle of a starbase siege where I should be winning, but for the lack of adjudicator fire.

I've tried saving at multiple points, and always had the same result.  Additionally, I've played a multiplayer game with a friend, and he was playing advent; when we reloaded the game to resume a few days later, his adjudicators (which had previously spread devastation) were now no longer firing.

I've put the save file up on rapidshare, so it's only good for 10 downloads; as such I'd ask that everyone leaves those for Ironclad employees.
