I am in a new game and one of the player is exhibiting some unusual behaviour.
We have a T & R treaty.
The Last few turns his colony ships have been stopping over planets of mine. Usually, they are planets with the same atmosphere as his species.
They would stay a turn or two and then move on.
At first, I thought he must be on drugs.
Then I thought he must be a newbie player and couldn't distinguish a colonized planet from a uncolonized one.
But he isn't a newbie player. (EDIT: He has been around much longer than me.)
The only thing I could come up with is that his colony ships are fitted with minelayers. Ugggg!!!!
But some detective work has pretty much ruled that out.
And as far as I know, parking over a planet doesn't provide any intel when a treaty is in force.
So, do you guys have any ideas what he may be up to?
This is a real puzzle.
