I received this game on Friday (my first Shrapnel game) and have spent around 45 hours on it since (so much for my marriage and graduate school ;p). Wonderful game!!!!
A few bugs I noticed (these may have been posted, I don't have time to read all the Posts here - not if I want to play while avoiding school work... lol):
No minesweepers for AI, they just kept running my gauntlet and getting bLasted
Troop/Ground combat seems very confusing and hard to operate - this may not be a bug but I surrounded a planet with three transports (to swamp them) and couldn't unload them
Don't know why.
Where do I find specs on the "special" techs? (metallurgy etc.).... or do I just have to play with them?
None of these detract from an incredibly deep game!!! This is better (by far) than any game I've played yet which is 4x and I've played since around 1980
Good Job!!!!
Wonderful Game - a few bugs
