<t> In the meantime, you should try the explore sector command. There's very little effort in doing that. Yes, I noticed the same thing in 1.0.5.7, I accidentally had assigned two exploration ships to the same sector. They almost flew in formation, they kept exploring the same things right after ...

In my last game I found a debris field with a few abandoned and damaged ships. I killed the space monsters and sent in three constructors. They repaired the first few ships which were then under my control. One AI jumped into the system with a few ...

One way of doing it would be to include a construction yard + component plants on the research station. I haven't tested it, but in theory, it should work. When I'll start a new game, I'll give it a try. You'd have access to the retrofit function when you right click the station.

What do you have your Empire Settings for "Attack/Bombard" set to? <e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>

I haven't seen an option for it, so I guess it's set to nearby targets. I'll have a look when I fire up the game the next time.<br/>

This is a protest more than anything else... [8|] Death rays miss just as often as other weapons, which makes them highly inefficient due to their long recharge times. One more reason to fit other beam weapons rather than the size and energy hogging death rays.

<r> If I order the World Annihilator to attack system targets, it does find a target and kills it, but once it finds a target it switches back to nearby targets. Shouldn't the engagement order stick?<br/>

<t> So I bought a location of an independent colony from pirates for 5000 credits, it was a quamino colony quite far from my empire. I built and sent a colony ship there since the population would be likely to join my empire. Turns out, there's a pirate base right next to the colony orbiting a gas ...

Thanks for that report Winter Warrior, I'll take a look at that. Your savegame for this situation would also be pretty helpful, if you're please able to upload it.<br/>

I have had this happen to me also, I believe someone noted in another thread that it has got something to do with the enemy military ships in the area. The military ships probably investigate ships before construction ships. either that or whoever ...

Truth be told, I didn't actually see it happen, but I wasn't getting any "abandoned ship" pop-ups either. The repaired ships probably just hypered out to refuel immediately after being repaired... If I see anything similar in my next game, I'll post a reply.

<r> As crazy as it sounds, it's true. Once the repairs are done, the ships ends up in opposing empire control.<br/>

Nothing is showing up in my resupply ship's cargo hold as well. The resupply ship's reactor uses hydrogen, the ship is deployed in a hydrogen cloud. The fleet it's supposed to refuel also uses hydrogen, I was being thorough.
