Reply to Galactic Civilizations III - v2.8 Official Changelog (Released 2/8) in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I can now see the explored areas of the map properly again and I have new anomaly graphics, don't know yet wheth

There's nothing in the latest update that should have affected the ship styles. Are you using any mods? Are the files in your "my games" directory (similar to C:\Users\pshaw\Documents\My Games\GC3Crusade\ShipStyleSet).

[quote quoting="post"] When you flip a planet any ships that were around it need to be removed/ejected from the planets space. Otherwise they seem to sit there and you can't move in and place any of your own ships. [/quote] Thanks for the report. I've asked the team to fix it.
