Is this a bug? or did I miss something. Today I decided to remove a radar
installation from my border and then return the sector to Talisman. What
follows is an exact script of the commands issued. For some reason after
I moved all the civilians and military out of the sector and tried to grant
it back to Talisman, empire "refused" to grant the sector (there are Talisman
sectors adjoining). Despite this, the sector now shows up as a ? on my maps
but I ran out of time before I could spy and see if Talisman really got it
back. No notice in the news about it (this bug is bad press for me).
