Yay!

EDIT:I'm not sure what is supposed to happen during a battle.  My viewing area had a scroll bar and nothing displayed.  Kept hitting continue, nothing happened.
Since the game currently is an army organizer, some quality of life things that would help is if the squad that I am moving a soldier from remained open instead of switching to the squad that the solder is moving to, and if it were possible to move multiple troops at the same time.  In an advance campaign, I'm sure that I'd be more likely to move troops individually, but for the starting chapter I pretty much need to move everyone from the 9th Company into the 8th Company so that I have free squads to promote qualified Scouts into Devastators.  A "Promote Squad" feature could also be useful.

EDIT2: I'm wondering if large numbers of transfers might be bugging out the system, since I seem to see the buttons disappear ending turn after doing large numbers of transfers, yet they do not disappear if I do no transfers.  Or maybe it has nothing to do with large numbers of transfers but instead is related to the save system, since I usually save after such.

And still nothing in any of the player logs afterward?

How customizable will chapter creation be? Appearance wise, I suppose.

Any sort of visual build-a-marine a la http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/smp.php is so far down the to-do list to not even make it on. Graphics are not my forte, and I am unlikely to take the project in a direction where I would be showing high fidelity soldier images.

You want a dwarfSpace Marine? There's your fucking dwarfMarine. You want some better graphics? Fuck you. DwarvesSpace Marines can do lots of stuff. Like firing bolters one handed. Can you do that? Hell no. Play Dwarf FortressChapter Master.

I'm curious as to how a tank would evolve. Would it climb out of the primordial ooze wiggling it's track-nubs, feeding on smaller jeeps before crawling onto the shore having evolved proper treds?

My ship exploded midflight, but all the shrapnel totally landed on Alpha Centauri before anyone else did.  Bow before me world leaders!

Heh. I'm hoping to not go quite the ASCII route, either. Maybe something a little more Atari 2600... "wow, my red square totally obliterated that green circle!"

Maybe old NES graphics?  My Knight icon smashes the Bug icons.

You could go with small sprite graphics like Dominions does. When I was (okay and occasionally still am) thinking about doing something CM-esque, that was the zenith of my own graphical ambitions. Admittedly, as the person who sprited an awful lot of NationGen, even if there was a lot of derivative work there, I'm biased as to the ease and practicality of this course of action. But 64x64 or even 128x128 isn't pixel-level while still being somewhat accessible even if you're not a Real Artist...

I think I misunderstood what you were looking for.  I thought there would be a log titled ERROR.  I do have player logs.  I'll boot it up, fiddle till I get a crash, and paste the log.

EDIT: The log exceeds the character count.  I'll paste part of it:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

That last paragraph part seems to repeat several times, maybe each time I hit continue?

Ah-ha! That took me a minute, but I found the bug. I'll upload the code fix now, but probably won't get a new release out until later today, so if you can replicate the problems you've seen with save button or reorganizing your men before then, I can probably wrap other fixes in, as well.

EDIT: Bugfix version v0.5.2.1 is now up.

When I clicked on the Archive, the screen loaded but I wasn't able to return to the other tabs. I had to end turn. Then it kicked me back to the Chapter tab.

I saw a planet to the side of the Chapter tab, so I clicked it and it took me to the planet details. I couldn't click back to any other tabs. Then I noticed two x's in the upper right that said sector data. I clicked the top X, and the game crashed.

There a crash dump I can give you or log I can give you?

Yep, should hopefully be something in the player logs.
