woah......just woah...

hehe... you and everyone else. It happens when you tell a ship to patrol a system that doesn't contain any friendly planets or bases... the function for patrolling a system did not consider people giving the order to empty systems and as such it crashes. Will be fixed soon I imagine.

Watching system patrols it is clear the programig currently works by tell the ship/fleet to patrol one base then another and then another within the system. This obviously will not work if there are no basis. So either they have to totally rewrite the patrolling routine, or you will not be able to patrol a system with no b bases. I wouldn't jump to concluding which. You may have to build a monitor base to keep a patrol.

or you can just have it attack any hostile in the system, and sit still if there are no hostiles in range.
