I've noticed that when in auto-pilot and you get attacked and enter melee. The Auto-Pilot bar that flashes in the corner as your in hyperspace is still in the upper corner but instead of it's normal pulsating color it's almost having a spastic strobe like effect. Doesn't hurt anything, but I didn't see anyone else posting this so I thought I'd add it.

Side idea, do these boards have the ability for polls? You could maybe make a list of bugs and as people encounter the bug they can go click on the poll showing that another user ran into that problem. Might help show which problems are happening more frequently and need more priority.

It's been a long time since I played the original Pc melee against an old friend. I seem to remember him telling me a key combo that you have to press to regen. It was somthing like main and secondary at the same time at the moment of death. I forget exactly what it was. It seemed to work though, we could regen those things left and right. Didn't accomplish a whole bunch, but it was more of a wear down the other guy thru annoyance by regening everytime you die. Try playing with those key combos. If you have the original PC version might be easier to try on that since this version is still in testing phase the buttons might not be set right or it may not be a feature in this version.
