Default 1.41 bug

S.E.4
Patch V 1.41
No Mods

Hi guys. In a game i'm doing at approx turn 117, I encountered a minister controlled colony ship trying to colonise an already colonised planet. It was not one of my race planets, but another races (Norak). Has anyone else seen this. Before you ask, no i didn't save (still haven't got into the habit duh) and so far it hasn't reproduced itself. Just wondering.

regards tic

Perhaps the colony was grabbed by the aliens after the minister had given the order to your ship? When the ship arrived, it found the aliens already there.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to stick a planetary napalm on your colony ship, so you can colonize even "previously enjoyed" planets

If someone else colonizes a world, you won't find out about it until you have a ship in the system to see it. So you can easily give an order to colonize a planet, and not find out that it's already occupied until the colony ship gets there.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"
