Monsters fighting each other?

#1 Post by defaultuser »

It sure looks like this Sentinel and Maintenance ship are duking it out. Certainly I'm not attacking them, and it's in a location where no one else can.

Hmmm... there is a planet with a fortress special in this system, so I suspect it's the mines effect of that fortress that affects these monsters.

I believe (not entirely certain) I observed this in build 150901. I was a bit confused since none of my fleets were present, but I made a note of it. Mines that come with the Fortress would explain it.

I didn't realize a fortress did anything until owned by a player.

It shouldn't be blowing up its own guards, that's for sure. Another bug to fix.

One of the guards (probably the maintenance ship) was for the elerium special. By the time I got there (not that great of a system and kind of inconvenient), the maintenance ship was gone and the sentinel very reduced.

Doesn't really matter, all are precursor left things, so they shouldn't be hurting each other, but yes, the ship would've been for the other special.

Can someone open this as a github issue so we don't forget it?

One thing, I'm playing an older version so it's possible it's already been noted and fix in later ones.

How old is "older"? Which version exactly are you playing?

This is a vital question actually as this bug was supposedly fixed last September (content) adjusted Fortress Mines to make sure that an unowned Fotres… · freeorion/freeorion@8f3d540 by Dilvish.

I'm still using the official release from 9/1, so sounds like it was already dealt with.
