Anybody seen this one?
Strange case. I ordered a 9 piece fleet to enter a sector with enemy colony ships with specific fleet strategy orders "do not fire on colony ships" in strategic combat mode (because I wanted to capture them later for their colonization technology. 6 of my armed ships followed orders, but one, which for some reason was classified as "no combat group", proceeded to destroy the colony ships against fleet orders, but following own ship orders (permitted to fire on colony ships). Does anyone have a rational explanation for this, or is it a bug? Shouldn't ALL ships be assigned to a combat group automatically if they have weapons?
