mine did as well but has now gone back to normal, however, all my spy reports are now in 'other' and are complete gibberish

Only problem I see is that all my esp reports have gone.

nah they just added something.. i got that too.. they have changed names, added new option tabs (n messed up the spy reports )
seems they wanted to structure their english

I think we may be getting an updated version right now. The names for lots of things have changed and if I'm remembering correctly the descriptions of some things are changed too. Big things I've noticed that affect things like speedsim and raksim are:
Multiple ships changed names:
small cargo = Small Transporter
large cargo = Large Transporter
battle ship = Battleship
espionage probe = spy probe
death star = Deathstar

Multiple defenses changed names:
missile launcher = Rocket Launcher
small laser = Light Laser Cannon
heavy laser = Heavy Laser Cannon
plasma cannon = Plasma Launcher
anti-ballistic missile = Interceptor Rocket
inter planetary missile = Interplanetary Rocket

Other random things:
Resources = Raw Materials
metal storage = Metal Repository
crystal storage = Crystal Repository
Armor technology = Spaceship Armour
Combustion engine = Combustion Drive
Impulse engine = Impulse Drive
Hyperspace engine = Hyperspace Drive
Espionage (missions type) = Spy

I probably missed some things but this is most of it. Also while the update was in progress ships were delayed and espionage/spy reports got garbled but that seems to be fixed now.

this is from uni 5. I don't use a skin or change anything myself.what can I do to get notmale spyreports againe I cann't read this

.:: edit by rotvicX: Even its not normal - coords are forbidden! ::.

It's the same in uni8.

Build queue changed from 'building' to 'operating'

'Deployment' changed to 'Station'

'Rank' changed to 'Place'

The old ones made more sense in English lol

Messages are all screwed up too.

If it ain't broke don't fix it

it easy
just put it in some kind of c++ compilator

every { } is a section like buldings,ships, res etc.
then goes the name of each thing and it's lvl after i:

so:
a:12:{
s:2:"zp";s:16:"Colony [:censored";
s:4:"hist";
s:14:"04-24 23:23:04";
s:5:"rost1";d:48910;METAL
s:5:"rost2";d:24661CRYSTAL ;
s:5:"rost3";d:1;
s:5:"rost4";d:424;

s:13:"GesamtSchiffe";i:0;
s:8:"Gebaeude";a:3:
{
s:10:"Metal Mine";i:8;
s:12:"Crystal Mine";i:8;
s:11:"Solar Plant";i:9;
}
s:7:"Technik";a:12:
{
s:20:"Espionage Technology";i:5;
s:19:"Computer Technology";i:6;
s:17:"Weapon Technology";i:5;
s:20:"Shielding Technology";i:6;
s:17:"Armour Technology";i:7;
s:17:"Energy Technology";i:7;
s:21:"Hyperspace Technology";i:3;
s:17:"Combustion Engine";i:6;
s:14:"Impulse Engine";i:4;
s:17:"Hyperspace Engine";i:4;
s:16:"Laser Technology";i:10;
s:14:"Ion Technology";i:5;
}
s:6:"Flotte";i:0; NO FLEET
s:12:"Verteidigung";i:0;s:2:"ec";d:0; NO DEFENCE
}

now u see it?

.:: edit by rotvicX: Forgot the coords . ::.

Don't like the name changes, sounds daft, why the need to change?

is there any confirmation about the names getting changed back? if it's gonna be changed back, why change in the first place?

Any chance of a bit of advanced notice before such changes are implemented in the future?
