Only clue I had is one sunk ship in the sunk ship list.

This leads me to another bug. I'll get text messages of ships sinking, but then they are not shown in the sunk ship list??

As for the second item on your list, this is FOW occuring, your pilots are repoting that the ship is sunk (hence showing on the scroll screen), but the ship is still floating. Also the intell screen sometimes doesnt pick up sunk ships untill they are confirmed sunk, which can take up to 60 days.

Also, I'm fairly certain the ship that sank did so in one of my controlled ports...
I'll have to double-check to make sure.

Ummm, where have you two been? The problem with sometimes MAJOR discrepancies in the combat reply file for the US player is the BIG KNOWN bug that is being worked on for the next patch. You two should browse the forum now and then.

Actually, I shouldn't have to browse the forums. There should be a sticky of BIG KNOWN bugs displayed prominently at the top of the support forum.
