I read a few comments about some sort of port bug. I think I have this bug, because I saw a port in one sector, and when I tried to port at it, nothing happened. Is there a specific fix for this, or should I just manually go in and edit the sector / port?

The problem is associated with the min/max tunnel settings in tedit with gold bubbles. if you leave them set to 0, this problem won't happen. That said, once you have them, I think you can fix them by going into tedit, swapping the port with another you are having problems with, then swapping them back. I think this works, but am not 100% certain. Hope this helps

The port problem seems to confine itself to a few ports numbered 19,000 and higher in a 20,000 sector game and to a few ports numbered 9,000 and higher in a 10,000 sector game. If what Kemper suggests doesn't work you might be able to fix it by simply deleting the port and then adding it back. If that doesn't work, you might move the port to another sector or simply delete it.
