pls watch this thread

we need godlike AI focus more on battleships and fleet limit
I have find 1st bug on this beta version
this is when I colonise planet approval from race missing, you have to transport to new colony new colonist to make it normal and send this bugged one to your capital to reset this status

another bug how game see planet limit in transport

It would be helpful if you would state in the changelog announcement whether or not we need to start a new game or if we can continue playing a game in progress in order to test the new version.
For example, I am continuing to play a very large game and I now see that colony ships are "forgetting" where they were going. Is that a bug in the new version or is it an artifact of continuing to play a game that was started under a previous version?
OK, I started a new game and sent the starting colony ship to a planet that was farther than it could travel in one turn. On my next turn, the colony ship had forgotten where it was going and I had to send it to the target planet again. This seems like a new bug.
I started a new game and my colony ships also are losing their pathfinding from turn to turn so I'd say it's a bug in the update. A real PITA, so please fix asap. Let me know if you need a saved game.
In the screen snapshot below, the text associated with the "Directive: Energy Maximization" option states, ".... we can permanently increase production on Yor At Home" (Yor At Home is the name of my home world), then the next line says "+10% Manufacturing to all worlds". Which is it: increase production on just my home world or on all worlds? If it is all worlds, is it just my worlds that exist now or does this bonus apply to new worlds when I colonize them as well?
Did there happen to be another Civs /hostiles on the ship's routes?
I have had freighters before that I had to re-target every turn to a minor.
Finally, when I got close saw the Minor's ships were orbiting or at least moving around breaking the path.
Not saying this is your problem, just a might be what is happening.

Not the cause in my game. No other ships on map.
No, I was sending the free colony ship on my first turn to a planet that was discovered by my free probe. On the second turn, the colony ship forgot where it was going and I had to direct it again to the target planet.
Some additional information:
Just a thought from what has happened to me.
Something happened for sure. Verify ships forgetting their destination and it's impossible to get new core worlds off the ground because morale is incredibly low, I haven't tried the reshuffle colonists act yet.
At turn 100 with 5 core worlds all with virtual theatres, my capitol world can't do anything except spam supply ships to build up my core worlds that take like 260 plus turns to build something. Citizens with 7 diligence as workers do not seem to help.
luceo non uro
new colony guy missing approval from main race for example 40-60%
you have to send some1 from your main world and resend to your capital or other colony bugged pop to fix it, yep its annoying bug
Exactly. Haven't tried that yet, though i shall directly. This update is a buzz kill. Probably won't get fixed 'til next week.
we also need godlike AI fix to focus more on fleet like battleships less on small ships and more on fleet limit techs
AI have this bug too just picked one of thier planet =D

Unable to transport citizens. The load button is greyed out even after selecting a citizen to load. Sent another colony ship. Now both citizens are marooned, the colony ship is trapped in orbit and can't be reloaded and the load transport button is still greyed out so no loading a transport to move one of them.
Going back to live 'til it's fixed.
Expanding on the Approval issue on new core worlds, it appears that the first citizen does not get the bonuses associated with your civilization.
The first screen snapshot below shows the breakdown of the Approval of my first citizen on a new core world.
The second screen snapshot below shows the breakdown of the Approval of my second citizen on that same world. Note that it is getting +50% for being Yor and another +10% for being Synthetic. Neither of those appear for the first citizen.
This makes it very difficult to get new core worlds going since both Manufacturing and Research are affected by the Approval of the citizens on that world. I recommend making a fix for this a high priority since it has such a large impact on the game.
I allready told that, for now you need to transport there new citizen to fix it and send back old one ^^
Seems like there are a lot of game-stopping bugs that should have been identified if anyone is testing. Instead of fixing advanced or extremely limited bugs that have minor (but critical) impact, let's focus on the basic mechanics of the game and stop fixing things which are not broken.
This is why you test before releasing updates.
Valkdrvr - I would agree with you if this was intended as a "public" release to main game. However, it was only done on the Insiders version. Stardock has stated many times (including on the notes to this release above) that only people who are willing to be Beta testers, i.e. - experience and report glitches/bugs, should play Insider releases.
Oh FUDGE!!!!!!! I bought the Warlords DLC. I didn't know I was running Insider's Edition. Holy Sith Spit. I feel like a nuub.
Anyway - keep up the good work folks. I'll be over here getting my foot out of my mouth.
