I removed the Queen and the remaining Workers she had, then advanced time a little bit. You have 1 inactive research lab and The Works shipyard finished its expansion.
As Andrew says, I can delete the queen and send it back to you. Have you played any further in your current game? If I send this back you will loose anything since, although I doubt you got far on 5sec increments!
Please delete the queen. Today is a good day to play a few "turns", especially if I could rid myself from this annoying lingering headache..This is what I have found on first look:
[spoiler:140jg91w]It looks like an Invader is fighting a Swarm Queen, the invader is taking internal damage so I think that if you leave them to fight he will die from loss of structural integrity[/spoiler:140jg91w]
I'll keep on looking.
*edit*
What ever way Steve has setup the Invaders makes it hard to track what they are doing.
[spoiler:140jg91w]There is a Wormhole in a system with one Gas Giant and it has a Star Swarm plus a Stable Wormhole.
It would seem that the yo-yo is around the fact that the invader attacking the swarm queen is staying out of range of the queen but not doing enough damage to kill it. The damage done to the invader is probably from the soldiers that were assigned to this queen, but they have probably all been killed by the invader.
Therefore there is nothing that can kill the invader and there is nothing that can kill the queen.
Not sure if Steve has coded anything for this kind of yo-yo.[/spoiler:140jg91w]
Try and compact your DB and then see if you can attach it to this thread in your next reply. Or, if you have a google account you can upload it to google docs http://docs.google.com/ and provide a share link.
Thank you for the quick rally to helpI thought it should just skip NPR interrupts. The reason for the 120 s updates must have been that I pressed the 2 min button and then left the computer.
Quote from: "Beersatron"if you want, I could maybe have a look since I can get to designer mode. But I won't share the password out.
Certainly, I appreciate any help. How do I send the db-file to you? Can you PM your e-mail?

I am having a similar problem.Good News/Bad News:
I have gotten stuck in a cycle of three 60 and one 15 second updates. In SM mode I see the following event updates:
Incement length adjusted as a ship is within firing range
Increment length adjusted due to imminent action. This may involve two NPR:s fighting
If I swith to "combat" view in the event window:
Beshaba 001 - Anti-Fighter Trackng System targeting Houjian 093 at 60k km
Size 32 Plasma Torpedo (x12) reloading. 135 seconds until next missile launch.
and also, each fourth update:
Size 32 Plasma torpedo (x12) has launched a Torp 32. Reload time: 195 seconds.
When I left the game on for a couple of hours once, the cycle changed into 120 seconds turns after a while. Had to ctrl-alt-del the game to stop the automation, but then I could play normally.. for 2 more days, then it started again and know it doesnt seem to go away.
I am only using SM mode, do not have any password for Designer mode. I really not want to abandon this game, is there some way to solve it? I read here:I think Steve's in Vegas (without the source code) and so he won't be able to do much for you until July.

that you can delete the involved NPR fleets in designer mode. I have mailed steve about this but nt received any answer. I am stuck..
On a side note: When I check automated turns and the click 20 min time advance, the automated turns does not stop after 20 min. It seems to go on forever. Is this a bug?No, it's what the automated turns box is supposed to do. If automated turns is not checked, then clicking on 20 minute advance will advance time by 20 minutes and stop (under the covers it's actually taking many smaller steps, but you don't need to know that). Automated turns was introduced so that you don't have to keep clicking the stupid button - it will click the button for you, forever, until an interrupt event happens.
For me, there would be three turns that add up to about a minute, then stop. This is with Automated Turns on. I manually clicked through it (taking many real-time hours to get through slightly less in-game ones) and eventually decided to use SM to look at what was happening. Long story short, now the game is broken and I can't do anything.Did you use SM mode? or Designer Mode? You should not be able to break anything in SM Mode; it is, however, remarkably easy to break something in Designer Mode
