SE V Bugs That Are Still Present

When creating an empire during game setup, when you are spending set-up points on techs, all colony techs show as level 0 when in fact you will get the colony tech that is set for that empire. This can lead to spending points for nothing. The selected colony type should be set to level 1.

What would really help bug reporting from the masses is an up-to-date, complete, centralized, online bug database that is maintained when patches come out. That way we could see what has been reported and what hasn't.

Last night I had finished my turn and I left it while it was processing turns. This morning, many hours later, there's this error. There's a white screen after closing the error message and I had to ctl-alt-del to stop the SEV program.

Processing turns?

As in doing a 100 turn process using the cheat codes, say?

I've got a few bugs here, couple of them extremely exploitable.

Drop Cargo Remotely does not seem to be working properly. Many times my Pop. Transports have failed to drop their population cargo.

During game creation, in the empires tab, Selecting any sort of tech points, whether 10000 or all, then editing a race saving changes, setting the tech points to a lower level, ie; none, and starting a game, the edited race keeps all of the tech levels chosen for it.(Did that make any sense?)

It is possible to build an item to near completion and make a item list of it, when you add it to other ques it keeps all previous work done to it. So it is possible to build that super expensive ship down to .1 yrs till completion, save it as an item list, then suddenly you can have huge fleets of them, as long as you have the resources to maintain them.

The thing about the empires only being checked on load/create is usable as a handicap thing.
And it can only be done if the host allows it at the beginning of the game.

It worked that way in SE4 too.
