I’ve noticed two problems with the v1.1 beta, and they may be related.
First, after clicking "Turn" while zoomed out to get a wide view of my burgeoning empire, the button disappears and doesn’t come back. I assume this may have to do with trying to process too many objects in the field of view, but I’m just guessing. Initially, I’d get around this by doing a "Quick Save", quitting, and then loading the save. Later I learned to avoid it by making sure I was zoomed in before clicking the Turn button.
The second issue is that I was unable to upgrade ships I had previously defined in a different game — same race, same style of ships. Whenever trying to add any component to the bare hull + jewelry combo that appears in the editor, a notification would pop up telling me there’s no more room. I can guess this may have to do with bad saved games connected to the first problem’s initial workaround, but I’m by no means sure.
