I just started a new game in 0.97, and I can't seem to design weapon platforms. The weapon platform computer core component seems to be broken. If I add one, it's not recognized as such: the game still says I should add a computer core, and I can't complete the design because of this warning.
I started in quite an interesting location with the phong and terrans occupying my neighbouring systems (medium bonus) I have nowhere to expand, and it seems like I'll be at war with both of them in a couple of turns.. Time to look at some other defense strategy
