Default Troop transport assaults partner\'s planet!

"General, I must insist that you prepare for ground assault. The planet and its huge defensive fleet has not begun firing on us. We now have a perfect opportunity to capture it intact, with all its weapon platforms."

"With all due respect Captain, just because the elite 32nd Light Armour is aboard your troop transport and adjacent to the planet does not mean we should prepare for drop and combat."

"General, I am the Captain of this vessel and you WILL prepare to drop. Commander on watch... prepare for offensive troop drop."

General Tuchuvesky contemplated the folly of the adventure, just as the black of space turned to the blazing white heat of atmosphere entry. He was not even convinced that he had enough troops to take the planet. At least the weapon silos that peppered the planet still had not begun firing - but then again, that was probably because as far as the planet was concerned it was not enemy troops streaking out of the sky - but, a galactic Partner's ....


Ok, as far as I can tell, my fully laden troop transport did drop troops on my Parnter's planet. It was a three way warp point battle that occured while I was moving through the warp point with a capture planet fleet. One enemy ship triggered combat and was destroyed but, we dropped troops onto the planet as well. And, as an aside, all my troops died .

I did a search but couldn't find comments about this bug(?) but I think we have discussed this problem before?

This is a known bug that occurs when the allied planet is between your transports and the enemy planet.

In mine, the my ships deliberatly went after the starbase. The captains are being court-marshalled.

* By the way, who was that? I forgot to make a note(whaps forehead). I can probably find the starbase, but...

Did you actually capture the planet?

If So I recommend selling it back to them for a few ships or resources

Ok, So it was a Mistake on your part, But it doesn't have to be a "Non Profitable Mistake!"
