The picture says it all.

These weapons platforms have bLasted back numerous attacks, yet have no enemy tonnage destroyed. More interestingly, there've been more WPs destroyed than built.

Anyone know WTF is going on? This is from a TechMod test game.

Possible ways this could occur
(AFAIK):

1) Simulator bug, sim losses are added to the total.

2) The weapon platform took exactly 100% damage by the time combat was over, and was counted towards # lost, but was not removed from the planet.

3) The picture has been doctored.

4) At least 27 weapon platforms have been gifted to this empire and subsequently destroyed in combat. A rebel world could be constructing these using the exact same design and name, since they keep the designs of their parent.

5) Any number of planets holding this platform design have been traded back and forth. Every time you give away the planet, you "lose" many platforms. When the planet is returned, and sold again, you re-lose some of the already-lost platforms.

6) Corrupted savegame

Hmm. 2 or 6, I'd think. Hope it isn't 6.

in a simultanious game, its possible for two empires to design something with the same name on the same turn.

did you really only build 7, or is that a part of the bug?

is this an existing empire saved from another game, where you used the same design and thus it has some counters already set?

In one of my games I have far more mines of a specific design actually in service than what the design screen statistics say. No mods in that game.

Something that is sort of related, if you load some units into a transport and the ship gets killed, your units lost are not taken into account in the statistics on the design screen.
