1.2.8.6 beacon bug

[higgins86]

I captured a colony with a beacon before the portals even show up.

I was able to research the study/destroy beacon techs but the beacon was still there later into the game.

Thanks for the report! Congrats on capturing the beacon before the Shakturi arrive! This does seem like a corner case - we'll investigate.

I would like to add to this.
In 1.2.8.8 I had a pirate sell me the location of one the beacons and I set up a outpost on it.

After establishing outpost I did not get any message about capturing a beacon or was able to research it.
After the war started a defeated zenox empire revived on the shakturi side.

I think something broke in the game because I never got any special war events and they never colonized the other beacon.

Have the Shakturi arrived by the time you colonized the planet with the beacon?

[higgins86]

Yea, they arrive at the start of 2848. I believe the one beacon did not get discovered by them at all.
Would more save files or screenshots help?

I think we have enough info at this point. If we need more, we'll let you know.
