Minesweepers posing as warships? Could be actually: Minesweeper has been known to destroy the productivity of some workers. It isn't a very deadly weapon, though.

All four vessels were equipped with weaponry and supplies, though I don't recall for sure whether they used Direct Fire weapons or Seekers. Of course, Seekers are known to have a few bugs, but Direct Fire is a good deal more likely at turn 50 (when the attack occurred).

For what it's worth, we both concluded it was a bug, and I no longer have the savegame as my harddrive crashed since then.

Did you see the Dr Who episode they aired on Scifi channel this past friday?

Guy was claiming ambulances were warships, since they are used in wars. =)


The group I play with ran into a bug where you can have a fleet with a troop transport set to capture planet, fleet set to capture planet.... but the capturing of the planet never occurs. The planet had no population, and no defenses.... so the troop transport refused to land troops. Very odd.

Planets with no population cause that issue.
Nobody sees it as a valid target.

Yes, yes.... all the thoughtful replies completely off-topic to the question of data files. LOL. We rule!

Well, since the "colony" has no population, facilities, units or anything else, you cannot destroy it. For a colony to be "destroyed" in combat, you need to kill off all the population, but since said colony never had any population to start with, it is untouchable and can only be removed A.) by the owner or B.) by a solar nuke. Power to the empty colonies.

Well, destroying the planet will probably work.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I believe you can't destroy a planet with a colony? Could be mistaken, I guess.
