[1.8] Wrong Information Displayed When Pirates Attack Asteroid Mining Base

from GalCiv3 Forums

This is a new game with the latest 1.8 version without mods.  I am playing as the United Earth faction from the new Rise of the Terrans DLC.

I built an asteroid mining base too close to some pirates, so they attacked it.  When I put the cursor on the image of the mining base in the "Confirm Battle" screen, the information displayed was for my Survey ship.

Since I had moved the Survey ship just before the attack, and it was still selected, I thought its information was displayed because it was selected.  I built the mining base again and made sure a different ship was selected before the battle, but the information displayed was still about the Survey ship.  I tried several more times with different ships selected, but the information was always about the survey ship.  If my survey ship was damaged enough, the damage was shown in red on the image of the mining base.

I got the Space Monsters event later in the game.  They also like to attack asteroid mining bases.  Wrong information was displayed in the Confirm Battle window for these battles.  However, I got different information for each battle.  Here are some of the Confirm Battle windows showing the information.

Is it just pulling the information from the first ship sorted alphabetically ?

We are working on a fix for the wrong tooltip information.  Space monsters attacking remote mining bases is not a bug :)  

Thanks for the feedback!

I loaded the save game today and tried to get more information.  Loading a save seems to fix the problem.  I never got any information to display when I put the cursor on the picture of the mining base in the Confirm Battle screen.

I didn't think this was a bug since they like to attack everything, but they look like flying insects, so shouldn't they be considered to be bugs?  :P
