Loaded up my space save played for about 4 hours creating peace and trading routes with 3 other species and then it froze on me before i had the chance to save it
so now i've loaded up my original save (4 hours behind where i got) the species i had encountered are now different and the kind friendly ones who were my allies I'm now at war with, not to mention that the good prices i was getting for certain spices have now plumetted and theres no species (locally at least) offering more than 300 sporebucks per spice - reguardless of what colour it is
