fleets not attacking colony ships
I have a three different fleets parked on one side of a warp point. On the side I have another fleet and two battlestations. My fleets on the front side of the warp point are allowing colony ships to pass through, where they are destroyed by the other fleet and battlestations. I have gone through the strategies for every ship in the fleet on the front side and I cannot figure out why they keep letting the colony ship through. Any ideas?

Re: fleets not attacking colony ships
If the fleet is cloaked the ships will get through, or if part of your strategy is "don't fire on colony ships" then they will get through. Other than that, dunno.

Re: fleets not attacking colony ships
"Don't fire on ships with no weapons" is another possibility.

Re: fleets not attacking colony ships
I have check those possibilities and that does not seem to be the case. However, I do have some ships in those fleets that are set as "Don't get Hurt." I wonder if for some reasons the settings of those ships are overriding the fleet settings.

Re: fleets not attacking colony ships
All right, I think I figured it out. It just now dawned on me that the fleets guarding the warp point are sitting on the warp point in a nebulae system. Does that make sense to anyone?

Re: fleets not attacking colony ships
Yea, It sounds VERY familiar. I have also done this same thing, not realizing that the nebula itself provides cloaking.

Re: fleets not attacking colony ships
Yep. They may not be able to see the ships to attack them. If that's the case you might as well pull them out of the nebula; they won't be of any use there.

Re: fleets not attacking colony ships
If one puts MINES in a nebula/storm system, will they attack enemy ships? (assuming that sufficient sensors aren't present)

Re: fleets not attacking colony ships
My hyper optics allow me to see the ships, and cloaked ships, that are in the nebulae. I would think I would be able to attack them too. Oh, well, I will plop a sensor ship down in there so I can at least see them coming.

Re: fleets not attacking colony ships
Cloaked ships trigger minefilieds, thus ships "cloaked" by nebulae should trigger minefields as well.
