It was another machine crash, this time complete with a blue screen. The server is now up again.
Darned if I could find anything wrong with it. I did clean the database, which I didn't do last night.
*Remember not to attack hex 24,17.
*Remember not to remove any of the embassy hexes that belong to defunct cartels.
*If you are attacking any hex with a base in it, check to be sure that the empire and cartel ownership shows up properly. If it doesn't, stay out of the hex and let me know which hex it was.
So, I'm going to sit here and watch, and let's see what happens. Let's hope today's problems were just random failures.
