Character General - 6/19/2014 2:50:19 PM

Last night I attacked a pirate base and due to overwhelming odds I pulled the general off to safety.
I later dropped more troops to join the attack.
Then I dropped the General back onto the planet. The general promptly joined the defending side and due to the defeat of the pirates was killed.

a) Was this a normal possibility?
b) The game went CTD shortly after- I suspect the general was not deleted properly at his demise because he was killed along with the enemy force ( as opposed to dying while in my camp ). I will post crash log when I return home tonight.

It is 'normal' because pirate facility attacks are extremely bugged at the moment, for some odd reason the attacking empire is considered the 'defender' in terms of interacting with planets while a pirate base attack is going on. Infact, if you had empty troop transports you would have been able to pick up the pirate raiders off the planet.

I was wondering why a Colony Administrator I'd sent to a planet died when I took out a pirate base. Guess that explains it...

ahh good info thanks.

That explains the battle sequence better. There were other 'difficulties' I had experienced that I did not document here related to my "evacuation at Dunkirk".

Well I guess I am eagerly awaiting the next update.
