Bugs

On iPhone 4 the game will crash if I invade a planet with two or more ships or it will crash when I invade with one and take it over and it crashes

This problem was fixed a while back, just apple app store slow at bringing us ios players the latest updates. Should come any day now though (i hope).

Edit: Actually, no.. I've only had the game crash when invading with multiple ships on the final turn, which was what cory also said the bug was - so this might be a new/unknown bug?

[Officer Genious]

The next IOS update should fix it if I recall correctly, but Apple has to approve it first. It'll be in the Updates part of this forum.

cap david - there is currently a bug (fixed in next) that will cause a game crash on iOS. It is caused by invading a planet with more than one ship on the turn that the planet is defeated and the xenos are driven out.

My iPhone 5 crashes every time I bombard/invade a planet with 3 Military ships surrounded by 6 Wolfs.
How can I keep this from happening?

Sorry, we have been waiting all week for Apple to approve the new update that fixes this and now its the weekend!

Thank you. I figured that out after re-doing a few turns so I scouted with fewer ships until the planet fell. Then I was able to take it.

Another question ... I have found a Xenos planet that seems to be cloaked. It disappears until I scan a space adjacent to it. But I cannot scan, explore, or colonize the planet. I currently have military transports en route hoping they wi be able to bombard the planet.
Thoughts?

That is because the Xeno worlds are not marked on the Star Charts right now, but next update will fix that.

And the update after that will add any invaded world to the Star Charts. I missed that one.

Thank you. Military Transports also cannot invade, scout, or bombard the ninja-planet. So I parked 3 cheap ships beside it to prevent it from producing ships. Fortunately it was exactly in the top-left corner of the map. It just stinks that I have to spend $100 per turn to trap that planet.
I look forward to the update.

Sorry to say it, but I'm totally 100% lost here. If you run the latest update (available from iTunes) the crashes will be gone. I have some questions ...

1) What is ninja-planet
2) What is "Military Transports also cannot invade"
3) How do you mean "cannot bombard"
4) Why do you think you must "trap the planet"

There are no other reports of any of these issues and I'm not able to replicate no matter how hard I try.

On the 32x64 Map (44 worlds) there is a system in the top left corner that can't be colonized. Maybe the Xenos can though and Invading doesnt work as well..

[Cory Trese]

If you cannot colonize it, neither can the Xeno.

Have you destroyed all their other planets?

I've logged a ticket so I get it fixed in next release:

Ticket #2514 (new defect)
4X - Bugs - Region 6 Invalid System at 0,0

[KOGA]

I'm pretty sure the Xenos possess the planet because I've seen their ship appear out of nowhere like it was manufactured by the planet. That's why I'm surrounding it ... To prevent it from manufacturing a ship.
