Enemy colony ship changed hands when attacked

Thats a nifty bug

January 18, 2022 9:24:15 PM from Galactic Civilizations IV ForumsGalactic Civilizations IV Forums

Hi There,

 

I had one of my commander ships attack an enemy colony ship and the strangest thing happened.  With its hitpoints at 1/20 after batttle it became under my control.  Its okay, really you dont have to fix this one....

 

Here is a drive with two files: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1nTGpO-hbv1_3I-WXRKDas4432_WFiRsW?usp=sharing

Try2 Current is before the bug

Bug Observed file is where I noticed it.

 

Shipname of the colony ship is DES-Occupier 20 outside planet Boyajian V.

This is normal.  It happens nearly every time a colony ship is attacked.

The only time I'm sure it doesn't happen is when a space monster attacks a colony ship.  The colony ship is destroyed and an infant space monster appears in its place.  I think a pirate ship destroys a colony ship, but I'm not sure.  EDIT:  Now that I think about it more, I'm not sure a pirate ship will attack a colony ship.  I think they just wait until a colony is settled, then capture it.

Precursor sentinals capture colony ships that way.  All the AI also capture them that way.

I have to decommission the captured colony ship. Check first, to make sure they empty.
