Amazing Resurrecting Ship Stack

from GalCiv3 Forums

 After utterly destroying an enemy ship stack, taking the last planet on that side of the galaxy and sweeping through the star system with numerous fleets (even over the spot where the stack was), then moving to other side of said galaxy, what should happen after several turns? The whole stack reappeared right next to MY planet. A possible pocket universe? Phased into subspace? Most likely in inter-dimensional bug! Unfortunately I was close to the end of a marathon 24 hr game and didn't think to save at that point so no data. I do have a save that is MANY turns before the occurrence, I'll send it on of you think it to be useful.

 I did have a couple of ideas that I thought would be nice to have. Since we will have carrier ship for fighters, a new type of ship that would carry probes that could be dropped (and picked up to be moved) along your border creating a "sensor net" alerting you if someone crossed your border. Also dropping a sensor array (not a ship per se) with long range sensor view. Since we'll have all this other cool tech, only seemed logical.

Are you playing the AI on one of the harder difficulty settings? I'm pretty sure that right now part of their bonus is that they get a huge stack of ships every so many turns. They usually show up at a rally point, so you can camp them and take them out as soon as they spawn.

No, just have them on normal AI. Been playing fast games, generally 24-30 hrs. Exploring different paths of tech to see how it plays out. But I didn't know they had that as a bonus. It would explain how they seem to always have a lot of ships. I think I'll try a more defensive game next. Just got the benevolent ctd at the bottom of the pyramid on current game. That bites since all the AI's were turning there attention all towards me and not each other.

Could of been a good fight. *_*

Thanks for posting, this is a known issue, we will have to make some tweaks to how fleeting ships works. I also sent your probe idea to the lead designer. :)
