Beta 3 Bugs

Let me start by saying the beta is progressing nicely. I've also submitted the debug error and saved game files for the following "bugs" I'm about to point out. First, I note that the Torians had Warp Drive IV almost from the beginning of the game. I doubt that's intended-it is a major unbalancing occurrence that early in the game. Secondly, I'm still having the ship update crash. It occurs when I try to update a previously designed ship-usually a design created in a previous game. My recollection is that every time this crash occurs I will see blank ship component thumbnails among the components of the preexisting design. I can remove those just like a normal component. In fact, despite the fact that a picture for a component exists and shows up as a thumbnail right alongside the blank thumbnail, the blank component thumbnails appear to actually represent those components because they remove them from the ship in the design screen when removed. Then, when I remove the thumbnail that actually contains the graphical representation of the component, nothing happens because that component was already removed. I don't even get the little sound effect one gets when removing a component. The crash actually occurs when I try to switch between component types, e.g., from engines to weapons. I'll keep updating this post if and when I find new bugs.

I'm enjoying playing as the Iconians for the first time in... well, a long time. I noticed tonight that their barter/merchant econ buildings don't replace each other in the "newest" improvements tab - I researched the top level building, and all three still appeared in the improvement choices. Also, they did not replace one another in the build queue - if a barter improvement was building when I researched the first merchant improvement, the planet kept building the barter improvement.

Did I mention that I'm enjoying playing as the Iconians? It's about time they got some love.

Don't know if this is by design, but the Disruptor weapon has no animation, i.e., when I see the Korath ships with disruptors, I hear them firing but see no "beam." It's invisible. It does damage and one can even see it glance off of shield systems, but the beam itself is invisible.
