Patch sounds good so far, now all that needs to be fixed is the 'captured ship bug', I've seen it a few times, capture a ship on your turn, click on to it to move it and end the combat turn with that ship. You get an extra turn most times. Tempting to use.

(havn't tried it for 1.3 but it worked previous patch.).
That and a RETREAT option would be nice, I hate having my colonizer die to a slow escort it's first time through a wormhole at the beginning of a game. It could be easy to justify, if your ship has movement b4 it entered combat you could retreat those remaining movement points in the direction you came (the same direction to avoid fleets using this to bypass blockades and attack planets). Ah well, with each patch I find this game doubles in 'value', for a guy who regularly buys a new game each month or so I have not bought anything (well, except Icewind Dale xpansion and not played it yet) since installing this game. Much thanks
