Today I decided to remove a radar installation from my border and then return the sector to Talisman. What follows is an exact script of the commands issued. For some reason after I moved all the civilians and military out of the sector and tried to grant it back to Talisman, empire "refused" to grant the sector (there are Talisman sectors adjoining). Despite this, the sector now shows up as a ? on my maps but I ran out of time before I could spy and see if Talisman really got it back. No notice in the news about it (this bug is bad press for me). JRO, Director Project-Y [14:186] Command : attack 9,3 9,3 is a 10% radar installation with 0 military or so.
