It is possible to encounter an eliminated empire, resulting in it appearing in your diplomacy window, but throwing an exception if you attempt to speak to it. The eliminated empire cannot be found within the editor.

Trying to. If I can get it to save. The game seems to take forever to save, if it manages to successfully save at all.

I think this may be related to a "Ghost Ship" bug. In the Editor, I can see, in a system where I repeatedly reencounter a dead empire, a dot which appears to be one of their ships. However, that ship is invisible and cannot be seen or selected in the editor or otherwise.

As a possibly-related note, when a ship meets a particularly violent demise, it sometimes becomes a "ghost", and continues to fire at nearby targets. Is it possible that perhaps this ship of the eliminated empire is a ghost-ship that suffered a particularly gruesome death of some sort and was not properly cleaned up?

happens to me too with 1.03 . the first eliminated empire constantly spams me that i've discovered them but when i speak with them in diplomacy screen it just bugs out .

the second empire that got eliminated , properly disappeared from the diplomacy screen and never showed up again to spam me .

Having the same problem, version 1.03, although program stops working even though no attempt is made by me to contact the 'ghost' empire (it may be attempting to contact me?).

Have save will upload if requested and I can locate the folder :p

EDIT: Having reloaded the save in question, I can't reproduce the crash without contacting the 'ghost' empire. New empire contact spam continues but the game is stable.
