I've just noticed this. I loaded a game started in DWU 1.9.5.0 with the just patched 1.9.5.1. Upon resuming the game, a new destroyer has been finished. It went on auto + Engage Nearby Targets. Then I noticed it had a Capture mission:



He is trying to capture an independent civilian ship, as a pirate would do. The thing is, I am playing as Humans. I don't know if it's normal, nor if it was the case with 1.9.5.0 already, but I never noticed anything like this before.

Select the Freighter and see if it gives you any identification info, though this isn't 100%.

There are some Policy settings for this you may want to look at as well.

What policies could make my military ships suddenly turn on civilians? Is my save from 1.9.5.0 corrupt and should I start a new game?

I wish I started this thread in the Tech Support or General forums, The War Room doesn't seem to have much traffic, I wish I could move it elsewhere.

There are some Pandora boxes that I don't want to open :).

So, there is still a bug in that my ships see some info that I don't have and that they are not supposed to see?

But since I left their design on auto, they were only able to do 1200/15000 in warp mode, and I lost interest in the pursuit. For weeks the indy stayed indy. I have a save if that's unintended behaviour and one wants to find out. The chase started on my home system equipped with a long range scanner.

And the automation AI had your ships behave as you've described? Detecting a smuggler disguised as a typical civilian ship and then chasing him out of the system.

I had no idea...

DW just keeps getting better and better!
