So, what is supposed to happen if we encounter bugs ?
The one that I mentioned is really infuriating, and prevents building any meaningful strategy, so yes I don't intend on playing if it appears on important planets.
Is it a problem for other players if I play and somehow later decide to concede ?
I thought you decided to not start the definitive server until you tackled the checksum bug ?
Also, what is the UI issue ?
For balance, have you considered putting the Imperial Palace influence bonus to +7 as I suggested ?
Understanding how the new mechanisms affect balance is one of my goal in this game so balance issues are not that much a problem, but tackling the one I was able to spot on my first test game (in single player) would still be better I believe.
