Steve,

As reported for v6.1 but still in 6.2 in Design mode the drop down menus do not all convert to show weight in tons (e.g. engines and missile engines ) when the "show size in tons" box is ticked. Is this a bug or WAD?

a small one.

Brand new game, starting with Sorium Harvesters.
When the Harvesters are given a default 'Move to Gas Giant with Sorium' order it throws out an error that requires ctl/alt/del to recover from. 

I have not yet surveyed the gas giant. 
I am guessing  that probably the moment that a gas giant is confirmed by a survey to have Sorium all would be ok, this order possibly just needs a little bit more qualification for pre-surveyed condition ?.

Opening the system view menu the game crashed.

Error 76: was generated by Aurora

Path not found (images of the planetjpeg folder)

After some of these the game crashes always, errors going on loop on image a5. I need the Sys view as i'm going to run a game in a forum.

I had aurora 5.60 and updated now to 6.20, and i did put the images in the folder.

EDIT: also exists in 6.10.

New game.  Whenever I bring up the System Map, I get this dialog:

Error in ShowMinerals

Error 35602 was generated by Nodes
Key is not unique in collection
Please report to http...

Possibly interesting: While this dialog is up, there's some kind of borderless empty window that briefly exists.  It's about the same width and height as the Sub-pulse Length button bar, and it's right under that.  The signs of its presence are that it cuts hole in the display behind it, and it's got vertical scroll controls on the far right edge.  That empty window vanishes when the dialog is gone.

Edit: Small correction.  This only happens in the Sol system.

The a5.jpeg should be part of the base zip you used for installation.  You just need to extract and re-copy to your planets sub-directory again.

Downloaded the 5.54 setup, extracted the planetjpeg folder, added the 6.20 new images, and replaced the folder with my old one. Still the same error.

I've released a v6.21 patch that fixes this problem. It won't affect your saved games.

Something's wrong with the range calculation on multi-stage missiles.  Apparently, the program is including the fuel of the upper stages with the fuel of the lower stages when calculating range in the design window.  I haven't found out if it does so when the missile is actually fired yet (I'm setting up a big game).
Edit:
I've confirmed that a lower stage will burn fuel from the tanks of an upper stage.  
Also, the stage continues to burn even after the upper stage is separated.  I tested this with a lower stage containing no fuel at all.  Also, the upper stage does not suffer fuel depletion due to this.

Something is wrong with changing a commander's race in the Leader's screen.  I transferred several officers to another race (both mine) and they either ended up as Admiral's of the Fleet (naval officers) or in limbo (seen in the list on the left, but not on the right).

followed by

Repeat ad infinum.  The game is a new one, conventional start, 5 powers in one system, and I think one NPR.
