Re: Help - ships do not engage!
Was this a simultaneous movement game, and did you order the defensive ships to intercept the attackers with the Attack (A) command?
The only way for the ships to have avoided being in the combat would be for them to have moved away from the planet's sector. Depending on how far apart the fleets started, in simultaneous it's possible for two fleets to "swap" sectors without engaging.
[Edit] Oh, another way for the ships to avoid combat is if the enemy attacked a different sector than the one the defenders were protecting. You didn't have another colony in the system with the same picture as your homeworld, did you?
