Finding this out the hard way just about ruined a 3 month long PBEM game for me.

Just wait until you try and launch fighters. Nice to know your carriers won't work now either.

This darn thing needs to be fixed.

Yes the bug is bad, but no it doesn't affect your carriers in combat. They can still launch fighters during combat.

But you can't launch fighters outside of combat and roam around your systems and to defend warppoints. Which I use them for a lot.

This really makes you think twice about lauching those mines early in the game. Hopefully it will get fixed soon.

if a minesweeper starts its turn in an enemy minefield, it won't do any sweeping, even if you give it the minesweeping order.

Are you sure about that Last part? Sweeping the sector you're already in is supposedly what the minesweeping order is for.

Cap'n Q

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"
