Tried to post the reply in that section but got a database error.

I have witnessed and heard of the disappearing figs occuring in the Gold enabled games.

Not sure if it has something to do with the Aliens and the code but sector figs are dropping to 50K even with planets in the sectors randomly and so far as I've got any knowledge "ONLY" in Gold Enabled games with Alien edits or Internal Alien Processing turned off.

Will see about doing more checking on this and get back with JP to see if I can help track down the exact cause. And it wasn't because of any editing going on at the time since it's happened even when noone has been in the editor at all.
