Why are my crew pacifists?

... "Has weapons, Most damaged, Strongest, nearest"....

How 'bout removing the "Has weapons" in your targeting priorities. Colony ships generally don't have weapons.

Just a guess...

[Ruatha]

It shouldn't matter. If there are no ships that fit the first priority it should move on to the next and then the next and so on.
That's why it's so hard to avoid glassing undefended planets.

The planet it destroyed had no weapons either.

Same reason as mine I think. I think maybe there is a bug in the game when ships try to move near planets.

I had a fleet attack a plant with capture planet orders. I know I had all the strategy stuff right becuse the fleed had taken many planet in previous turns. This turn they approach the planet and get close to the moon in between my fleet and the occupie planet and then all my ships just stop and wait. Next turn the planet was captured.

Did your ship run out of supplies after attacking the planet?

Slick.

[Ruatha]

It had 2600/3000 supplies after the battle.
