Odd Neutral Race behavior
I thought neutrals weren't supposed to leave their home system? In my current game, the Zynnara holdings are trying to clear a mine field on a warp point, but the field is on my side of the warp point. The odd things is my system isn't even adjacent to their home system! So far as I can tell the first time they encountered it, they were chasing an EA carrier out of their home system. At least that's what it looked like to me since EA is at war with Zynarra. A damaged EA carrier screamed through the warp point and past my mine field (I'm allied with EA) then a Zynarra LC hit the field the same turn. A few turns after that I got a message the Zynarra had lost another ship to that particular mine field and had swept away some mines.
Odd, it's new, it's different, but I like it. Just because the neutrals aren't supposed to expand, I don't think this should mean that all their ships stay home. Anyhow once or twice a year the Zynarra send a minesweeper to blow up in a blaze of glory trying to clear my mine field. Must be some kind of ritual or rite of passage, too bad none of the participants have survived <G>. I'm almost considering letting them clear the field to see what would happen next.
