[0.9.1a] No ship recovery with certain battle outcomes
« on: September 19, 2020, 06:27:56 AM »

- I did a full retreat in an engagement round
- Afterwards, the enemy decided to disengage, I could not pursue because of losses
- I was not given the option to recover my disabled/destroyed ships, lost all of them

Thank you for the report! Ahh, can't believe that hasn't come up before. Fixed.

This also happens if you full retreat from a battle joined by interacting with a market.

(Market interaction battles are kind of a mess in general, among other things you don't have a pursue option after winning)

Hmm? If you full-retreat, you wouldn't get ship recovery, regardless, right - am I missing something?

(As far as market battles, there's no pursue option, yeah. It's pretty much just how it works; the focus is on the station, not whatever defenders which presumably get away with it for cover etc etc...)

I mean that after the full retreat, I planned to do another engagement round with the ships which had retreated in said round due to PPT or damage (and got a Field Repairs 2 patch-up in the process), as I would have in a normal battle. But instead the battle ended immediately and took my recovery options with it.

Thing is, if you did the exact same battle* except by interacting with one of the nearby fleets instead of the market, it does act normally in that you do get to pursue etc.

*Well, we could say it's conceptually not the same battle; it can be implied that by clicking on the fleet instead of the station, the player makes that entity the focus as you say
