and even though i have not yet expanded far enough to find a deuterium field, it is good fun

I have found an error on the settings button (either when the game first loads the program, or from within the game via the "Game Settings" menu option).
If i press Ignore, the settings window appears,
if i press retry, it crash/quits the game.
if i press abort, it exits the game
just to let you know...
