Please also attach a save of just prior to (just before ending the turn) losing an aquaformer.
Sealurks are no better at psi combat than Sealurks. They can be invisible of course. Are you aware the Deep Radar spec ab reveals them?

Patch 11e for Planetfall, the Alpha Centauri total conversion mod for Civ4 BtS, has been released. This patch needs to be applied on top of the main v11 file of Planetfall. It doesn't break savegames from patch d.
Just a couple corrections:
1. The Scavenger special ability should now only grant special abilities instead of (incorrectly) any applicable promotions the opponent had.
2. The Space Elevator is only buildable around the equator.

I am a bit confused about the purpose of the "solar power transmitter" which is initially advertised as being good for the economy (additional power, right?) but, in my game at least, that is the latest MOD, turns out when it is built to be about the ability to shoot down an aircraft and which appears only to have the commands, skip turn, sleep or auto-destruct!

Should be fixed in next patch.
Now I could have missed something here, but in case I haven't...
Probe teams.
Evidently, I can send them to "sleep". But what I really need is to send them to sleep until automatically they wake up if there is a cover op against a city which they would then seek to foil.
Of course, ideally, what I would like is for them to become independently active as they were in SMAC!
Just a suggestion for Maniac and the other geniuses who are developing this game.

Not sure if I have understand your request, but a "sleeping" spy only sleeps in terms of the interface (gets not in the unit cycle) - gameplaywise, they are always employed in counter-espionage duties (plays out in a higher chance that enemy probe teams fail with their missions and/or get cought, when one of your own spies is present on a tile nearby the target)
What I really mean is that I want to forget about the probe teams until needed. I may have missed something, as I say, but I seem to have to push the "wait til next turn button" each time with them. If there is something that will stop me having to do that and they will stay active and vigilant in some way, do please tell.

As I explained, just use the 'sleep command' - they will still do there duty on counterespionage. There is no gain from letting them skip their turns over and over.
Of course, counterespionage can be further improved by letting a spy do a counterespionage operation vs. a faction you expect to spy on you. You have to enter their territory to make it possible, choose then this mission like any other active one and if you suceed, any espionage from this opponent costs him doubled ESP for the next 10 turns.
And doing active spy missions is the only situation, where you should not put the spy to sleep - here you can skip turns after reaching the target tile, until you reach the maximum dicount after 5 turns, then strike for the cheapest mission prises...of yourse their is every turn the danger that you could get cought by your opponent.

Yep, the spy system isn't the SMAC one where enemy probe teams are visible, it's the BtS one: Enemy spies are always invisible and your spies will have a chance to catch them by their presence automatically. If you want to know more, read up on the BtS espionage system.
Cheers, LT.
