BUG/EXPLOIT: Free Ship Movement

from GalCiv2 Forums

I haven't seen anyone post about this and I didn't see it mentioned in the 1.2 fixes but I get this everytime I load a saved game. The ships will be loaded with the correct amount of movepoints left and then I hit the turn button and all the ships on autopilot with m/p left will move. But the date at the top does not increase and no research or production, unless i buy something so its build time is 0, is done. All the m/p of each ship are then reset and I can move my ships again. Only after I hit the turn button a second time will the turn number actually advance and perform research and production.

I have used this to effectively explore everything within my range and find a nice planet settle without advancing to the next turn, which I'll admit isn't very fun since it feels like cheating, which it is.

see this thread which indexes all others about this issue : Link

it's not really cheating as the computer gets the same treatment, but effectively you can still cheat
(for example if you get & produce transport ships before your opponent you can use this exploit to travel very far )
but it's still disturbing
