AI reinforces on a planet I own?
« on: February 14, 2010, 07:33:20 am »
Just wondering if this is normal, but the AI seems to be getting reinforcements on a planet I just cleared and built a command station on. The AI doesn't seem to own anything on the planet anymore, yet the location where the AI's command station was still gets reinforcements from time to time. I was just about to move my fleet away after capturing that planet, when suddenly I have 170 AI ships spawn 'in the middle of nowhere', plus two lightning turrets next to one of my metal harvesters. The reinforcements kept happening for a while, until I went to attack another planet (left a few dozen turrets to handle the reinforcements). I called it a day at that point, so I don't know if the reinforcements will still continue.

Anyways, if this is normal, then what's causing it? O.o

Misc info:
AI7 Fortress Baron
AI7 Train Master
v3.034 when it happened, I think.
No expansion

This was a known issue in 3.034 to 3.306.  Was fixed in 3.037 and up.

aaaw that would be intersting! j/k.

Btw, this might be an issue, but the game that we encountered this was long ago (in patch-wise). Against tele turtle and shield ninny, on 5 planets:

for 3, we destroyed everything else than orbital command station and warp gate, and build turrets etc to keep the planets intact (calling them A from now on) and many more in the same shape but by dysons

the other 2 planets: we destroyed everything else than warp gate, and occupied those (B)

A planets kept reinforcing, B planets never got any reinforcements. However: we also saw something else that was weird: none of the planets ever got reinforcements. Seriously. So, we suspected that, AIs were trying to reinforce the planets classified as A. That game was fairly easy.

Also, one of those "A" planets were getting Mark IV reinforcements, while our AI process never exceeded II.

We captured all of those planets, and THEN they started to reinforce theirs. That was late anyway, we were bordering their homes already then.

I reported this back then, but got no replies. It was before the bugged betas, mind you, before even the starship boost nerf.
