Retiring at least at a starbase shouldn't kill a character.

So when you still sit at your Car when it got into a Car-Shredder, you shouldn't die ? :-)

Same thing happens when you retire a ship. The issue is that it adds micromanagement but removes the exploit of saving your character by retiring the ship/base when it is about to be destroyed.

Nah, I retire fleets with admirals all the time, they get moved safely to a planet. Bases on the other hand kill your characters, the difference is that you can't retire bases only scrap them. Same if you scrap a ship on the spot, your admiral dies too.

I sent one ship for retirement to a space station, maybe a one without planet, can't remeber. I sent the char to a diffrent ship, but with automation on he came back and was killed while retire.

Never seen that happen, if I have an opportunity in future games I'll try that specific method of yours to see if I can reproduce it.

Thanks for the feedback on this.

This is changed in the next update so that characters at ships or bases are now immediately auto-transferred to empire capital (or pirate home base) when they are manually scrapped (when the ship or base is not damaged and in battle).

Yeah I saw it happen now, a general died when his transport retired at a lone star base, no planet. Does the upcoming fix change that situation too?

Does the transfer only work when scrapping a ship that's totally undamaged? I know I usually only scrap ships when they are too badly damaged to move.
