game options bugs

I just hosted a few games, and ticking off pirates and locking teams don't seem to do anything.  Pirates are still active even though the game was set to have inactive pirates.

 

Also, the range of starbases seem to be very short, maybe even shorter than the normal defense platforms.  This shouldn't be the case...

Are the pirates still launching raids? Disabling them only toggles that behavior, their base will still be present (though idle).

Yes, the pirates launch raids.  The pirate timer ticks and all the audio warnings are there.  Also, I get diplomacy missions and things from AI players even though I locked teams.

quick update: the options work if I change them before starting a game lobby.  if I try to modify them from within the game lobby (where you wait for players) then they don't work.
