AI Eyes still standing after all Guard Posts destroyed

[TarlSS]

Okay..So there aren't any guardposts left. I even destroyed the command station, so all the wormhole guardposts are there. But the Fracking AI eye is still there!!

What gives?

I'll put money on there is a stealth guard post on the planet in question.  I had this scenario happen earlier yesterday, and was quite puzzling.  Wound up taking a tachyon warhead in and cleared that right up

This confused me as well.

cloak posts are placed near asteroids. Fly a scout starship near all asteroids in a system to discover them. As you have probably already taken out all tachyon posts the scout should remain cloaked and not be in any danger.

Alternatively, bring in a command station and try and build all the metal/crystal harvesters. The spot that doesn't build is where your guard post is hiding.

If you build a command station, the post disappears.  Problem would be dealing with the eye and building a station at the same time.  Would take some skills.

Or 10 or so engineers.



Bringing in a fleet works as well, the post will release some units so you know where the post is. Now bring a simple scout close to it and it will decloak the post. If you find a bit of a balance in this the Eye wont spawn many units (so dont send in 1k ships if the AI planet has only 50 ships on it).

Wow, I did not know that. Useful new information, thanks. I'm already envisioning quick-clearing planets with a defensive fleet and a comm station building under a forcefield.
