Are Nuclear Devastators completely ineffective against ships? Because they have 0 firepower and just do bombard damage, which is just damage against planets, right? I ask because when I upgrade my ships it's changing out the regular torpedoes with these guys, which I'm guessing is *not* want by default. I think I popped this tech from a ruin or something, so maybe it's getting confused since I haven't researched the torpedo tech up to that point?

So, the auto upgrade is causing your ship attack components(Torpedos) to be replaced with particular planetary bombardment components(Nuclear Devastators)?

This has happened to me. Also the autodesign likes to pack devastators onto space stations, which seems utterly useless.

I've seen it before, already put a bug report in the Tech Support subforum a couple of days ago so hopefully it will be included in the next patch.

Thanks, nice job Nemo!

Oh this is extremely useful if those little peasants have slightest free thought brewing in their minds.

The problem went away as soon I had researched the shard torpedo. Until then I just had to go in and replace the suckers every time I upgraded.

I would class this as a major bug.If you use auto design which most will I suspect until the design problems are sorted out, it is making non combative ships.

Well my understanding is that orbitals are controlled by whomever controls the planet, so it really doesn't help.
