Lead Developer, Stardock Entertainment

This is just a quick update mainly to take care of the crash with the terror stars, but you're also getting a few more things that we've done since beta 3 went up.  Enjoy!

+ NEW: Added code to show overlays for starbases if there are any available modules

+ NEW: Added code to show % complete for Terror stars

+ NEW: A bunch of new images for Iconian improvements

+ NEW: Tech Details window and Improvement Summary window now have a "one per planet" icon for improvements that are only allowed to be built once on a planet  ( this is displayed for improvements that are not a super project, trade good, or galactic achievement)

+ FIXED:  Crash in Quick Build List for social improvements

+ FIXED: Particle Beams tech names in Iconian tech tree – missing Roman numerals

+ FIXED: Terror stars now give no influence or range bonuses

+ FIXED: Terror stars are not considered in the cost of a starbase

+ FIXED: Terror Stars are no longer renamed when completing them

+ FIXED: Updated a bunch of the thumbnails that were incorrect or missing

 FIXED: Crash after terror star destroys an inhabited star

+ TWEAK: Weapon animation behavior defaults to beam behavior

Nice mini-update for all the terror star fans. Just wondering is the next update still planned for 6th dec as was mentioned on an earlier hompage entry? I'm looking forward to seeing what the Drath and Korx will be like.

Yes, we're still planning to do an update on Thursday.

Thanks alots that will be helpfull. Also could there be something simmilar for indistructable buildings (kind of got trapped building an interstellar refinary on a planet that didn't really need one and couldn't destroy it  )
and   for the terror stars!

+ FIXED: Crash in Quick Build List for social improvements

Thanks! Just finished testing the change successfully. Passes even with Alt-Tabbing, jumping around different game screens and repeatedly hitting items in the quick build list. Hopefully this will also have a positive impact on crashing out after viewing ships in the diplomacy screen. Oops. Nope, just crashed out after attempting to view a ship available for trade in diplomacy. I assume this is an old well know bug, if not I can upload the crash info.
