Okay, I'm about 9 hours into this fight. (120 words, positive hack balance, tier 3 ai progress) I have a core of words that have two very nice chokepoitns of grav/tractors, and a suite of tier 5 defenses around each. One world has the exodan blade defending it singlehandedly.
I'm not hacking, or near the ai homeworlds, but jammering up to nearby and still away from the core 4 types. All of a sudden. I'm hit with the warning 78k Teleporting station attack. and the tag teamer with the 30k bombers)
I'm not hacking anything, or fighting over anything, save getting ready to do an advance starship hack on a dyson sphere guard. (Not dropped anything yet.)
They hit the exodan blade at the chokepoint with 100 carriers. And when it fires, my pc dies the Dwarf fortress fps death.
Any ideas why it did this after loading a save when it had a good hour before (Nothings changed in my world setup, just balancing and setting up defenses after the last 5k ship wave nearly broke through, and keeping down the dark spire outpost spawns so they cant hit other worlds.) And it was the highest ship exo-galatic I had hit when I woke up the exodan.
