Tactical Combat is off by default, which means that the ship designer is disabled as are some research items related to it. Start a new game, make sure Tactical Combat is on and see if the error persists.

No, what you get is a naked picture of Ted Koppel.

New to this have purchased several games downloaded them on to my desk top now wanting to download to laptop....is this possible, brought game in 2011 - cheers for the help

Download them the same way you did on your desktop. Access your account from your laptop, go to your library, and click on the game you want to download. You can either:
A) Install Galaxy and use that to download everything through
B) Use the somewhat-outdated GOG Downloader
C) Download directly using the link(s) under the installers section after you click on your game

It got a change recently such that it's now basically the same chat from Galaxy.

Suggestion: I have this really cool nifty and far out idea for a game/ website features/ forum feature that needs to be added. How do I go about getting this done?

Suggestion: I made this suggestion for a really cool nifty and far out idea for a game/ website features/ forum feature that needs to be added. Why wasn't it done?

Suggestion: Who's butt do I have to kiss for my really cool nifty and far out idea for a game/ website features/ forum feature that needs to be added to be dealt with?

Just some thoughts.

So. How does that block list work?

You want to cut me off already!? We just met!

Please specify. Do you mean blocking people from chat, or are you looking for a forum-wide block function?

Regifting a key code that you received by mistake will only bring out the worst of some folks.
