Weird Loss of Planet

from GalCiv3 Forums

I had captured a Drengin planet and had 5 ships in orbit to repair and protect the planet from being recaptured. I advance a couple of turns watching the area and when a nearby planet to the one I captured spawns a shipyard, the planet I own just automatically turns back to their control. No transport was sent, no battle engaged my orbiting ships, I just lost the planet without any actions on their part... Now I don't think influence has been introduced yet where we can just flip planet's allegiance purely because of cultural influence, has it? If so, that makes sense as it's still an area under their control but I hadn't seen that in my previous two games and this is with the Opt-in beta. Anyone else see this?

Influence must be in cause I had drengin planets in my area swap over to mine late in the game I am playing.

Ah, okay then, thanks. I must have missed that part in one of the streams or threads I've read then. Guess I need to start paying attention to my influence then!

Thanks. I also decided to "cheat" and loaded a save game to see if I could offset this or at least delay it by buying an entertainment center (I was already at 70% approval) and a consulate to try and help with the influence and it made no difference. I think the only thing that pissed me off about this was the fact that the ships I had in orbit all were lost to me after the switch... I had some very good ships docked there for repairs and defense that did me no good. :(
