Mothball Mutiny Surprise: is this a bug?

A mothballed ship over my homeworld was Inteled away from me, fair and square.

And then it wasn't mothballed.

And then it destroyed everything else in that sector, becuase the Homeworld wasn't up to defending it self from that ship and everything else was mothballed.

Is that it is supposed to work?

That is odd! How is a ship without a crew supposed to muntiny?

A ship is a ship is a ship is a ship.

And that's the way it works. So if someone mediocre enought takes it away by the mean of intel project, then it will

1) loose its Mediocre experience
2) go to unmoothballed status with its Mediocre crew.

I am not sure about supply status, but I think fuel tanks will be filled up by the mean of mediocre magic?

That was my Mediocre 0.2 euro-cents.

This is very odd. I was running a test so I could see what you were talking about here. But I have been unable to use insurection to take a mothballed ship away from another player. If I unmothball the ship, I can insurrect it every time, but when it's mothballed the project fails every time. The empire I am insurecting it from has no intel production so should not be able to stopp any attacks.

Loser, what Version are you playing? Is it a simultaneous turn game? I would like to figure out what the reason for the discrepancy here is.

As UE so subtly implied, this was in Mediocrity, a game I took over from you.

If it could make a difference, I might have had a Scrap order on that ship, I'm not sure...

Those mothballed ships over the homeworld were going to be what kept my fleet going as the rest of my empire fell apart... oh well, I didn't expect to Last too much longer. I just hope my fleet makes it to the fight before it falls apart.
