Here's another annoying recurring bug that comes up. I'm sure someone already took note of this, but just in case.
I noticed that an outcome from observed animated battle doesn't always reflect the actual outcome of a battle. For instance, when I attacked a shipyard, the animated battle shows me losing. But when it returns to the main screen, I see the shipyard destroyed and all but one of my ships destroyed. This kind of thing happened numerous times. So there's some kind of disconnect with the game's code. Results from animated battles get compartmentalized away somehow and the game performs a separate calculation for the actual outcome.
