Racial Trait Creation Problems

[God Emperor]

Have just been working on a "Borg Technology" racial trait and ran into a significant inconvience - none of my previously saved Empire files work with the new Racial Traits file. I can create new Empire files and reload them, but, get an error message when I try to load any files created prior to the new racial trait.
Anyone got any ideas?

If my conclusions are correct, we may want to get Aaron to do a fix to get around this inconvenience. Otherwise, each time a new racial trait is created, new Empire files will have to be created for all races that you would want to preselect.
(Random player selection doesnt seem to be affected as the AI just consults the General.txt's file I guess).

PS: Files are attached if anyone is interested.

PPS: On a slightly different track, I tried to create a Borg Master Computer component (regenerative of course), but, the AI wouldnt make use of it, even though when I went into their turn, they had it as an option. Got a feeling that the AI will only replace life support etc with the "Master Computer" component only.
Wonder if the same holds true for engines?
