Invunerable Alteran Battleship bug

from GalCiv2 Forums
Hi All,

Recently upgraded to 1.70a[b].001. I had started a Masochisitc game with the 1.61.090 build. Playing as the Humans, I am currently at war with the Alterians. I had suddenly noticed some of my ships just blowing up. The screen would pan to them and boom! I turned on the single ship detailed battle and it turns out there is a bug.

What happens is an Alterian Battleship attacks my fleet. It doesn't show up in the battle screen, but is there and is attacking my fleet. (Like it is cloaked) My fleet cannot damage the battleship, even though it should be able to with my weaponry. Every attack registers 0. My entire fleet is wiped out. In the summary box on the lower left corner, there is a box for a ship but no picture. The ship's weapons and defense is also shown. The ship also does not show on the main galactic screen.

I haven't seen this with other races so far, but I have only been at war with the Alterians.

If you need more info, please let me know I will try to provide it.

Can you make sure to save that game, this might come in handy if anyone needs more details later?

I haven't seen this before, but you may be able to make it work to your advantage. Try to get some of the other races to go to war with the Altarians, preferably starting with a race whose borders are close to the current location of the killer ship. Let it take out lots of other AI fleets, then take the Altarians' planets while the killer is elsewhere.

No problem, I'll do it later tonight. I'll also include more information in the e-mail.

Good idea, except the Altarians are really weak at this point. They only have 2~3 planets left on a huge map. The ship seems to hang in a particluar area so I'm sure I can sneak around to the "back door" if I have to...

The Korath (my allies) are moving in from the other direction and they don't seem to have much problem chewing up the Altarians so far...
