SEV: Question: Attacker and Defender Columns...

[Suicide Junkie]

It shouldn't really matter, after all, since there can easily be three or five mutually antagonistic races entering combat at the same time.

[Dizzy]

Well, I thought it might matter in a 1v1 cuz im finding my ships arnt engaging the enemy.

This could be an entirely different problem altogether, like not putting any ordance on your ships.

[Dizzy]

My ftrs have full ordinance and supplies. The strategy and tactics and formations are all set properly. And I am at war with this faction. Strategic and tactical, both refuse to fire.

So what entirely different problem alltogether mught I have overlooked. Remember, I'm not intimately familiar with this game yet, so it may be something stupid I've done or missed.

You're using fleets? I've not had any good experiences with fleets, really. Seem to be a bit buggy still.

You could put up your savegame, easier to find out if it's something you've done wrong or if it's a bug that way.

[Dizzy]

Yeah, the fleet thingee is messing up my ordinance loadout mb. But it has nothing to do with why my ships and ftrs sometimes dont fire at enemy ships. Here is an old save with the .92 balance mod. I think in this one I have missile ships that dont fire at an enemy planet.

Actually, I found out why you couldn't attack that planet. Look at the attached screenshot. Find anything there that could interfer with your desire to blow the planet up?
