Fleets defending dead bases
« on: December 14, 2018, 08:58:19 PM »


The Morthanth Cleansing is - was - a Pather base, currently undergoing rapid uncontrolled expansion. Player fleet marks its former position.
They do this for a while before "Standing Down", "Returning to <Station>", then despawns into the debris field.

I have a copied save if you are interested.

Can confirm, just had this bug happen after destroying a pather base, a few fleets came back and 'stood down' into the empty space where it used to be, disappearing from the game.

I'm guessing this is because it's easier than having to check regularly if the base is still alive and deciding where to go if it isn't? Does look pretty strange though.

I wonder what they should do, if they try to return to a base and there's nothing there. The first answer that I think of is that they would go to the nearest other base of the same faction, but then it's possible for no other bases to exist. Maybe they should search the current system for the player, and try to avenge their base, despawning after a while when the player leaves.
