I've tried starting new games today as United Earth and every map I try I get an error message saying that "Human Suns are not supported by this map type." I'm also then located on a random spot on the map, not the preset spots for Earth.

Also, I've been having issues with upgrading ships in other gameplays. For the first few hull designs I unlock, I have to make a new design for the ship to be able to switch weapons, shields or hulls to a newly unlocked type. Further into the game, I am unable to create new designs for ships and they won't upgrade into newer weaponry, they're stuck on whatever type of weapon I had unlocked at the time I researched that ship tech. For example, I had Photon torpedoes but wanted to switch to quantum torpedoes.

Anyone else having these issues?
