I did not write them down, but I've noticed some planets that are named wrong. By that I mean I get a rumor about a planet, I plot a course, and when I get there the planet is named something else.
I went and checked the rumor again and it had a distance of 0 AU. I'm not sure what the cause is (like if planets have different names in different difficulties), I'm sure you do, I just wanted to make you aware of it. I will keep track of the rumor name vs actual name if you need me to.
btw, AU is an incredibly small astronomical distance. 1 AU is the mean distance of the Earth to the Sun. A parsec would probably be a more appropriate unit for interstellar travel. A parsec is just over 3.26 light years.
Of course AU would be the unit around stars. If you travel back and forth between two planets that are 3 spaces away from each other in the same solar system, it should take less fuel/water than travel to another solar system that is 6 spaces away.
You probably don't want to get into using two different units of measure for travel, so forget I brought it up if it gives you nightmares!
Another thing I've had happen several times recently is during space flight, at the beginning of movement after moving one space, the screen goes gray and the game effectively "locks up". I had to end the program and start again.
