Birth of the Federation

Today I started a new game with last patch applied - as recommended - and that 'processing turn' hanged twice in 63 turns.

Yes, it started after leaving the Shipyards tab. The blinking was far more intense than normal.

I have found something weird before yesterday patch, but it persists after applying 12Jul. After visiting shipyards screen (F5) the game slows significantly, every operation, effect of clicking or chosing any option from menu lasts remarkably long and all stars are blinking on the main map. It disap...

I have applied 10JulFixed and after 8 turns met the same problem again. Still the same game from last save.
Edit: so far it happened only once and I was able to play a couple of turns.

I started new 8Jul game yesterday and found 10Jul patch after meeting the problems in turn completion. I applied it to the same game and next also 11Jul. After second restart 11Jul game from last save it works fine.

I had more than 50 turns with no problem.

Maybe 10Jul helped? I started the game again and played 10 turns without that stuck - the longest period so far.

No change after 11Jul.

I started a new Jul8 game as Romulans, but I cannot complete 22nd turn. The game is waiting endlessly... The problem appeard several (5-6) times so early in the game. I applied Jul10 patch, but no change. Now I still am stuck.
My save:

Hi, I have not added the last patch, but I played about 320 turns of Jun16. My thoughts so far: - I am OK with minor races change, I had reviewed the 'Minor race advancement' thread - the problem I pointed earlier (about Intel in case of small population race) rather is caused by a lack of intel bui...

OK. Taxes are important (and nice). I fully agree that Star Trek canon is just a canon. However please rewiev research facilities of minor races, for example Meridians have one - 150 research for 150 energy - no way to sustain that. It could be in really advanced game, but then it will be useless. H...

And the problem is that Trialus became a member 112 turns ago and they just started investigating level 4, so that minor race would not achieve level 6 before turn 400

I have just found nearby, in Delta quadrant, a cluster with 4 minor races. I my current game I met Trialus and Arghata with 120 pop., Hirogea - 140, Vhnor and Teplan were slightly better 180 and 190. Arghata have +30 on moons, but Teplan, Hirogea and Vhnor only 10. But there are others - Monea has u...

Yes, huge galaxy as always :), but this time a cluster one. I have met only six minor races in the whole Gamma Quadrant, but all were quite distant from the Omarion nebula. So far minor races were a huge asset in the game and now they are rather a burden and a reason to have them united is only to p...

But I had the Trade Hub listed as a research achievement and now I have no trade routs available for the Omarion Nebula.
Anyway it is a strange game, bacause in 90 turns I have not met any minor civilization (I put 'some' as starting parameter).
