First question, I made a large nanoripper and a medium nanoripper and 5 troop ships.
I sent them after a planet rated 15.
The nanorippers decimated the ships that were on the planet and there were no other ships in a 5pc distance. I sent in the troop ships one at a time and they refused to assault the planet.
I stacked the ships and attempted to send them in on the next turn. Again they refused to attack.
There was (is as I saved the game and came right here) a base nearby but no ships near it.
WHY will they not attack?
Second question, Why don't my space stations that are barely out of atmosphere of a planet allow a enemy troop ship stop right along side the station and planet, go to next turn and watch as the troop ship assault my planet?
Should not the space stations be a little smarter then the ships? And if the space station is right beside the planet should it not count as a ship in orbit?
My neighbors are starting to think I have stets syndrome.... blasted cheating computer...
