I have been playing a while and thought I was doing quite well for a newbie. Started as a human, republic government and off I went. Reached 8 systems and 13 colonies (two of those were other humans who I colonized without a problem and one a group of wekkarus I found in an abandoned colony ship.
Didnt locate any futher planets I could colonize inhabitated or uninhabitated so I assume I was a bit timid and should have started to declare war and take some in my way.
Found it diffcult to keep up with research (one point can you build more than one structure at a time on a colony) and still find the ship design a challenge.
Built up a couple of fleets (cruisers and destroyers) and sent one of them (total 11 ships) off to take on a pirate base. I knew the pirates had 10 ships but these were frigates at best so felt confident.
This then is the purpose of the thread. My ships jumped into the base system which is located in a nitrogen oxygen gas cloud. Every ship of mine failed to answer movement and attack orders and simply sat there until they were picked off one by one?
I would have sacked every captain had they survived. I simply let them all perish but as I am liley to find a similar situation what went wrong? Is it the cloud that caused the problem or a variable I dont quite understand yet?
Thanks in advance.
