I have found myself many times not having anything to build other than ships. Especially in the early game.

A return of the ES mechanism where we could convert  to  or  should be implemented IMHO. 

No more idle systems!!! :D

It's already possible.

Era II = Industry -> Dust

Era III = Industry -> Science

Bug or am I missing something ?

The pacifists took a stronghold in the election, when this happens you lose your scientific base law which allows teching to era2. It´s the law that is automatically on and gets replaced by other faction laws when they take over!

It´s a balancing issue with the sophons - gotta keep those pacifists in check.

thx for the tip. I just missed that (thought it was a trait from Sophons that was not linked to political issues)

There is something strange with the elections - its either bug in voting or bug in presenting stats to the player.

2-3 turns before elections i got pool that stated around 80% for scientist and 20% for pacifists.

Election comes and there is roughly  the same stat one the first elections screen, then on the third screen pacifist are winning for a great amount of votes and i get to switch leading party and law its more strange because i got like 3 sophons and 1 haroshems in my population so scientist should win with ease.

That happened to me few times always with the sophons. 

The election polls are very inaccurate. 90% militarist poll. Aaannnnd i'm industrialist now. Cravers man... I even picked up a threatening chunk of pacifist while being at war with every faction on the map. 

In short, its all buggy as hell. It'll get ironed out... Hopefully. 

In era 3, there are upgraded versions of the planetary exploitations for food, industry, dust and influence, but I cannot see one for science. Is it meant to be there, or is it just set to be in era 4? (or am I just blind)

BTW something else I noticed (and apparently I'm not the only one) is that the Vodyani are the easiest race to invade.

When my fleet enters their system were an Ark is present, I can only invade the planet, not start a space battle! WTF Why???

If anything the Ark should act as a defensive platform against invading ships foremost, THEN if the space battle goes south, make the invasion of the planet possible.

Insult to injury, they destroy your ark without even fighting it just by the act of capturing the nearly defenseless system. A change making an ark block a siege/ground invasion is sorely needed. Either that or severely buff their earlygame planetary defense capability with some faction perks, then make an orbiting ark contribute to any ground defense by lowering the enemy invasion manpower by some percentage high enough to encourage the strategy of destroying the ark first.

There is a graphics glitch when you check out a system for the first time.

Essentially it shows the first planet up close and doesn't switch to the other ones during the cut scene. I'm running an Nvidia card btw.

You can see it I think in the third episode of my play through.

Thank you for telling me! I haven't seen them yet and I assumed they should be in from the beginning.

The Hero ship customization menu and the election action menu both need to spare some room for an Empire dust counter.

Some indication of what the actions you can perform before elections might do to the support would be nice, as I can't tell if they work or just have very little effect

They say: small boost, average boost, or small penalty to the opposition, but yeah, something more concrete would be nice.

Found an absolutely game-breaking bug.

On one of my planets there's a subterranean curiosity that I've been investigating continuously for the last few turns. I didn't have anything queued to go after it, and it's not going away after I investigate it, it stays there and my planet investigates it again, providing another deposit of Hyperium. So now I have infinite hyperium on this planet, increasing my 2 more every turn.

If it could help I'd be willing to upload a save of this game, but I don't know how to do that, or if it would even be necessary.

Saves help; they should be under Documents\Endless Space 2 for Windows users, and they're small enough you can just Upload File to your post.
