Visbility Bug", "Finance Wraparound Bug" and "Tech Stuck Bug "

Will you explain these bugs, please? I do not remember encountering them when I used to play.

The visibility bug is basically symptoms of the malfunctioning stock ECM/ECCM systems in MoO3. Ships will, apparantly without reason, change between being visible and invisible, even if they're inside sensor range.

The Finance Wraparound bug is a problem where very large empires who's income in a single turn exceeds a certain amount suddenly goes bankrupt, ending the game.

The stuck techs bug is quite literally what the name indicates; there's a chance technologies you try to research will stay in the "Research Items" box indefinitely, never finishing.

Okay. Thanks Raapys! I now remember encountering these but not the "Stuck Tech". I always thought that the ships appearing and disappearing as they maneuvered was do to the opposing electronic systems battling each other. I agree that it was very annoing.

I will now install the Vanilla upgrade because looking again at the list I see that they are all reasonable and some were very needed or wanted.

As for the artificial intelligence in Master of Orion III, I played on "Hard" level(the third out of four) and remember the AI using war, espionage, diplomacy, and research well.
