- My ship burned a different amount than predicted by my client. Why?
 - PHost claims that this minefield/wormhole was away 999 ly but this isn't true!

 - PVCR displays lots of warnings about missing parameters, although I have the correct pconfig.src!
 - PVCR stops while playing a battle until I press a key.
 - Why can't I see these enemy ships on my viewer? DOS Planets says they are out of scan range but they clearly are not.
 - What happened?! All my starbases disappeared, ships are in the wrong place, everything is wrong!
 - Why does PVCR show this ship as sustaining 10% damage but when I look at it, it only has 8% damage?
 - I'm trying to cancel a build order from my starbase but the build order keeps showing up next turn.
 - All my build orders got canceled! (or) PHost rejects my TRN as being damaged!
 - I'm fighting, but I do not get build points (PAL, PBP)!
 - My Rebel/Klingon ship was attacked by a planet! My two-engine ship did not tow! My MBR did not tow-capture that ship!
