Supply sharing between ships and fighters is not bugged. It was deliberately changed to prevent an exploit.

It is still a bug, I think, just different from the one it fixed...

I think the bug is that it reduces the supplies of the fighters to 0 if you put them in a fleet with ships.

Anyone posted this Upgrade bug yet?

Example:
Step 1. Create a construction queue with all Mineral Miner I's (5, 15, whatever, just more than 1). Seems to work with any facility, not just MM's.

Step 2. End turn. MM I built on planet. Put Upgrade to Mineral Miner III in queue. It will be entered normal cost and build time for upgrading 1 fac.

Step 3. Build at least 1 more MM I on planet (5 more, 10 more whatever - any number works - full queue even).

Step 4. Reorder queue so upgrade is first (or wait for all other MM I's to be built).

Step 5. Next turn ALL MM I facs will be upgraded to MM III's. Doesn't matter how many; all will be upgraded in 1 turn and at only the cost of upgrading 1.

I'm able to recreate this in all mods I've tried AIC, Proportions, "stock-plus". (It is VERY "effective" in proportions and should definitely be considered an exploit / cheat in a big way.) I have not tried this in a stock game (maybe someone else can) and I'm using SEIV Gold 1.84.

Can anyone second / confirm this?

Yes, I remember having read about this exploit elsewhere some time ago. Unfortunately, it has been forgotten here - up to now .
This is a really bad exploit, and should definitely be fixed in the Last patch!

Found another bug. I'm using 1.91.

When you build a sphere world, the starbases you used to construct the world with are still included in the "number in service" statistic in the ship design window, even though they disappear after building the sphere world.

I haven't tried this with a ring world, but it probably happens for those too.
