or you can go to the constructor design and set the stance to "flee when attacked" instead of enemy sighted

<t> I guess, boarded pirate bases (as space ports) do not work, because they lack a planet where the ressouces are stored. As the room on space stations is never big enough, the storage seems to involve only storing prebuild components for construction ships and get the docked ressources, then ...

Have you tried selecting the first facility in the colony overview and then giving the attack order? Usually, this will begin the fight with all facilities. In 1.9.0.10, this worked with a network as well.

<t> some other tipps:<br/>
<br/>
1: Pause once in a while and go through all ships without orders...in late game, watching a fight will let 100 messages scroll through unnoticed.<br/>
<br/>
2: do not build other colonies in your starting star system, otherwise all ressources will get divided up ...

<t> a nice way to see right away what it is, you can selct a ship with weapons and move the mouse pointer across the ship/base in question. If it is boardable right away through investigation, the pointer will not change. If it is damaged, it will change to a red crosshair for a possible attack ...

I was under the impression, you don´t need extractors/mining stuff at colony spaceports as colonys are supposed to mine all?
Or is it different with Pirate owned colonies (after the network..)?

<t> As a pirate, I always try to get an Empire spaceport done with and then capture all the build pre-warp construction ships right at the beginning, leaving a trail of uncompleted ships in planets orbit around the sun. Makes for a nice circle and gave me around 30 construction ships which i just ...

also not working:
- colonization tech reward from independant colonies population
- shaktura/ancients tech reward from the last base. system infos do get rewarded, government also.

no, not bugged, just working as intended "only working while stationary" it says in the info-text. So it is good for ships just hanging there waiting for someone to show up, so the static usage won´t drain your fuel.

<t> thx for the info on docking and construction. The problem mentioned was that private ships get their orders when they get boarded and cannot be given orders by the state afterwords or given the "repair signal" for a construction ship. Also, when I manually order a conctruction ship to repair it ...

Probably a mix of both, it happened also in games as normal empire without changing construction to other ships, thx for the answer.

<t> most of my early games I could not play on, because all ships in all fleets were stuck at some station not getting the ressources needed.<br/>
Also, many "forbidden" auto-upgrades from mining bases get stuck and will not work on.<br/>
<br/>
A solution might be a "refresh button" making the ...

<t> Hi there,<br/>
<br/>
I have a problem in many games i havent seen in forum yet:<br/>
<br/>
bases stick to build-location (Planet etc) during construction, but after finalyzed work, the base stays at the precise point in the system, whereas the planets circles the sun, thereby leaving the ...

<t> Hi there,<br/>
i just bought the german gold edition containing the normal game + shakturi, great game!<br/>
During an autosave, the game crashed and now all savegames even from before always crash shortly after leaving the paused state. The screen just freezes without any error message.<br ...
