"This unit cannot phase jump". Incredibly annoying problem.

please help

from Sins Forums

about an hour after I started a new AI skirmish, and built a ton of trade ports, I began to see these alerts pop up constantly.  Something like this normally wouldn't annoy me, but the sound it plays whenever this happens, is extremely obnoxious and LOUD.  Its the same sound effect you hear when you scuttle a structure, except it happens like every other second.  I can only assume it has something to do with my trade ship activity now that I have many trade ports and a long trade route established.  Is there any way to fix this?

What? I've never run into that problem. Now I'm curious.

You may need to verify your game by way of Steam. Maybe something didn't install right.

might be a hot key grouping if he has something in the group that can phase jump

You make it sound like it's a anti-piracy measure.

Some studios install things like this to mess with pirates :P

This happens if you have nothing selected and right click on a planet or something.

I've been having this issue as well, it's happening when i've selected a non-moving unit (a starbase, for example) and order it to attack and misclick in space instead of the target, "This unit cannot phase jump."  Well duh.  Not a crippling bug at all, just a wrong message somewheres.
