Compiled Questions/Bug List/Wish List

WhiteHojo:

a) It's probably your browser Cache. I see this on Netscape 4/Linux as well. Apparently the topic URLs are straight HTML instead of cgi-generated at read time, so the browser wouldn't know that the content may have been updated since Last load.

b) Yes. You only gain one level of tech per possible area in which the surrendered race exceeds you. At least with Patch 1, you could get around this with constant surrender demands with simultaneous PPP (so you receive multiple surrenders, each filling in the tech gaps), but Patch 2 fixed this so the new rebel faction (if it didn't join you directly, which also gives no tech IIRC) will not inherit the commlink, and thus won't hear your surrender request (or instead won't answer?).

You can try to scavenge some of the tech from their ships, assuming you didn't destroy them all before forcing surrender. Otherwise, you'll have to research it yourself or trade/steal from somebody else.
