Looks like Aaron is hammering out those bugs at a good, steady pace...

Do saved games from previous patches work?

I installed 1.17 over 1.13. I was in the middle of a Balance Mod 0.97 game at the time, and when loading up after patching, my saved games were no longer listed. Maybe they were retrievable somewhere in the game folders, but I started a new game instead.

The official patches change such fundamental game logic that it's definitely the safest option to start a new game... otherwise like I had in the past you may find that you have extra crashes or bugs like inactive AI players that wouldn't occur if you'd started a new game.

Just dump saves and start over, that's 90% of the fun anyway.

I continued several games (standard and balance mod) without problems after the combined upgrade to 1.17 and balance mod 0.98.

sorry to ask a dumb question, but have the point defence been fixed yet (you know, all the ships in the fleet would fire on the first missle in range, then all subsequent missles got through)?

I only ask because I'm almost done the PhD, and I need to buy a game soon...

['DIT] Oh, and yahoo! Boarding parties are fixed. Is SJ remaking P&N?
