Why don't the lazy bastards attack?

[Baron Grazic]

Same thing happened to be Last turn in a PBW game.
I took over a ship via intelligence that was parked on an enemy planet, I ordered it to attack the planet it was sitting on and next turn - Nothing.
It still had the orders to attack however.
This turn, I've ordered it to 'Move' away from the planet & then move back. I'll see what happens next turn.
Another strange thing was by intelligence I took over a SS and the following turn it was attacked by a ship with Phased & Null weapons. At the end of the fight, the SS had been 'Taken' and is now back to their control.
Any noticed a bug like this with Ships taken over by intelligence?

Something like this might have to do with the fact that, like in making new designs and immeadiatly retrofitting to them, the game indexes the ships wrong and for some reason it caused a glitch, but im just guessing, nothign hard.

The Shifting in and out of fleets solved the problem!

Hum,

Last time I had this problem, I started yelling and insulting the game until I discovered that my just retrofitted warships were some "Charles De Gaulle carrier types". IE I forgot to put engines on the design.

Just an idea...

Nope, they all got engines.
Shifting them on and out of fleets solved it.

Unknown,
"Charles De Gaulle carrier types", I have never heard this expression, I'm sure there is an interesting story behind it.

Think of france in WW2 and how they defeated the Germans....
