Invasion bug

I posted this in the bug channel as well, but everyone here should know so that you can at least try to avoid this situation. I had it happen where the AI invaded me with zero troops (their transport was empty) When I hit the spacebar to begin the battle, the game hung. So just a warning to anyone out there...if you see an empty troop transport...take it out before it crashes your game. (At least until this gets fixed)

Hmm...I have no idea how they even had a transport with zero troops...

Well it happened when the computer managed to build transports on several planets, but never launched them. They ended up being jettisoned from the planets with zero troops when they either were flipped or surrendered to me during a war with the Acreans. So thats how you can get them in the air with zero troops.

I think that the fix should have them launch with 1 guy on board. One guy who refused to join the cultural bandwagon an so he hyjacks a transport in a heroic, yet doomed attempt to vanquish the enemy...
