New Bug?

[Roanon]

No, one thing I am certain of is that the treaty issue is totally separate from the problem of Roanans ships not performing correctly in combat.

I'm not convinced of that. I think the game has registered that the Aether Lords are at war with me, but not registered that I was at war with them. Two proofs, my ships did behave normally in all combats against a already declared enemy, the Federation, and also in the combat involving both the Federation and the Aether Lords only fought agains the Federation, not fighting against the Aether Lords. This is possible, because there is a flag per player at which player they will fire, otherwise multiple player battles involving neutral parties would not be possible.
Second, most important, the Aether Lords were NOT affected by my minefields, while their minefields damaged my ships.
I think Malfador should take a look at this if even a rerun (on a machine with larger memory?) causes the same problem.
