where are we supposed to give feedback and report bugs?

Feel free to post bug reports in the Bug Reports sub forum, and any feedback in the General Discussions subforum :)

Hallo, I'll report some bugs here, because it's easier than creating an additional forum account.

This Christmas I bought and tried your game. Generally I like it very much, it's beautiful simple and not too complicated. And your game really doesn't deserve that many negativ feedback. Still there are some annoying bugs I want to report in order to help you finding and fixing some issues.

1:
After starting the game with a colonie ship to choose my starting colony myself (my favorite playstyle) many times my first starting ship dies while trying to colonize my first home planet and game over. I guess this doesn't make sense and was not intented. While it makes sense to have a certain risk of failing a colonization later on, this should not happen to the first starting ship forcing us to start the prozess of the game setup again and again.

2:
While flying around and searching my first planet to colonize and making my home: Everey time I save the game or go into any menu, again and again a new additional task is created to find a planet within 12 weeks. After colonizing my first home planet only the first originally created quest of creating this colony within 12 weeks will be propperly deleted. All the many remaining same quests stay in the questlog asking to find a homeplanet, allthough my homeplanet is allready colonized. Thus making an error and giving me all the comulative penalty again and again after the time runs out. This same starting quest getting multiple times seems only to happen after loading a save game and using a menu like for example going into the research screen or saving again before first colony is colonized.....

3:
Every time you use a colony ship for colonizing a planet the colony ship of course gets destroyed / dismantled in the prozess. But even after loosing this colony ship, the maintainance cost of 2 credits a week still remain and are not deleted propperly. So for example if I build 4 colony ships and colonize 4 planets, I still have a negative balance and maintainance cost of 8 credits throughout all the game for all eternity making me a negative balance paying for my coloniyships forever allthough they are long used and gone.

4:
Some calculations of boni, values on planets etc.... but especially for heroes (approval values) do not work propperly. Sometimes for no obvious reason they have much reduced or sometimes also higher values as they should have.

5:
When I equip a ship with different types of weapon, it only uses one type. For example I have build a warship with five different weapon types just to test it and see them how they work. But it only ever used missiles, never any of the other installed weapons.

6:
Today I tried to load my save games but all I ever get are black screens in some of my save games. Some save games seem corrupted / not loading into a black screen only.

7:
No matter what Galaxy size you set up, you always get the same far too huge Galaxy size.

8:
No matter what you choos in options about autosave, be it a year or a month..... the game anyway always autosaves every week.

Bug number 6 and 7 seems to be the same bug somehow connected. When starting a new game you always get a huge Galaxy. But after loading a savegame you get the tiny galaxy for example if selected. But this save game works only if saved when the ship stays within the tiny radius but when it stays outside within the additional stars what are there only before the first savegame loading but not really there, than the load fails and black screen.

9:
the hired mercenary ship is far outside lost in outer black space and never reaches any planet.

Whats wrong?! Most of the bugs still exists... Nothing happened after nearly a year?
