Why don't the lazy bastards attack?

[Ruatha]

In single player I can select a ship/fleet, press attack and it will kill the designated target!
But in simultaneus PBEM the ship/fleet totally ignores my order and just sits put, pacifistic bastards.
Why don't they obey my command?

You are ending the turn right? Remember that in simultanious all your orders are excuted *by the host* at the end of the turn. You don't see any immediate movement or attacking.

Nope, they still sits on their lazy butts when the gamefile arrives. No movement has taken place whatever, their movement is non-existant, they are glued to their position, they are quite frankly annoying!
It doesn't matter if I want em to attack a ship or aplanet.
Can it be some configuration check-box in my client?

Hmmm... You are unzipping the new files into the Savegame folder right? Because if you don't unzip your new turn into that file the game will just use that Last turn thatwas unzipped there. That's only think I can think of right now.

We don't use zipped files, and yes, other move commands, build etc worx as usual, strange things are a happening in deep space!

I have had this happen to me occasionally. Not all the time though. You can't ever get them to attack? Or is this just intermitant.
