Lost all troops because planet's pop declined to 0 during invasion

A couple of days ago in a beta game I lost half a fleet's troops because while they were invading the planet's population had declined to 0. Bombardment had stopped and the planet was left with a very low number of pops. During invasion the pop declined to zero and my troops disappeared. This has happened previously in public game. Obviously it is a rare occurrence, nevertheless it is frustrating when it happens. I guess one solution is to wait till pop builds up a bit before invading.

Please post a save for us in the Tech Support sub-forum showing this right before it happens if possible. I agree a rare case, but we may be able to handle it better.

Same happened to me with expansion today. The game disbanded a whole invasion army I had left to control any uprisings, and also disbanded a bunch of surplus units in my homeworld when the economy tanked after the invasion (planet economy cost was -15k). Playing Mortalen and used their ability to boost recruitment rate to build the army. I'll check for autosaves.

We'll definitely need saves to investigate this further. Please let us know when you have them.
