Regarding troops - I have my Fleet AI Automation turned OFF as I wanted to manage fleets on my own, however I still have non-fleet ships in Automated mode. I've noticed that those automated ships started to flew around my empire and move troops from one place to another... is there any reason why they are doing it ? is there any way to stop that besided turning off automation on them ?



Erik Rutins -> RE: Disappearing troops (11/25/2011 4:13:19 PM)

Hi Dejagore,

The main thing they should be doing is refueling and loading troops to remain ready for combat, or reacting to local system threats based on their stance. They'll also try to escort ships and protect important colonies, bases and stations. You can also turn off all automation, but I would not recommend that. Probably best to put them all in fleets if you want more control.

Ufarsin -> RE: Disappearing troops (11/25/2011 5:40:43 PM)

I have problems as well regarding troop disappearance.

Currently I have a fleet of 11 troop ships, each capable of loading 9 troops.
Well and good.
Trying to fill them up poses problems because while filling up they will suddenly loose 11 embarked troops.
If left alone in an unpopulated system they will at random times loose troop in lots of 11 (well ive seen the fleet loose 11 at a time a few times)

They are under manual control, posture: attack anywhere, Troop recruitment is automated.

My economy is well in the black, Big cash reserve of 40 million, 200k+ cashflow and positive but variable bonus income (50k-300k). Currently at peace

My suspicion is that Troop recruitment is somehow interfering.

Edit: That or lifesupport on the ships really isnt worth writing home about [;)]

Hi Ufarsin,

Is this with the v1.7.0.1 public beta update? There was an issue with troop automation that could result in troops being disbanded too quickly due to negative cash flow.

Ufarsin -> RE: Disappearing troops (11/25/2011 6:09:21 PM)

No patches applied (cannot access the Members club without a profile).

Also my economy is quite good and quite stable with atleast 200k+ cashflow for the last few decades.

But yes I might just make a profile to get that patch [:)]



Ufarsin -> RE: Disappearing troops (11/25/2011 6:41:34 PM)

Applying the patch seems to have fixed the issue.
At least I was able to fill up the fleet without the admiral deciding to space a percentage of the troops [:)]

Erik - I'm happy they are doing escort stuff and are protecting the colonies/bases etc but I still don't understand why they are taking my troops from the planets and fly around with them. They should be prepared for defending, not assault on others planet. On the other hand - they might be taking those troops with them to be able to take the colony back if it will be raided by aggresor.
