So did you remove Home Command Stations immunity to Plasmasiege Starships splash damage or is it bugging?

I did not intentionally change its status re:plasma-siege since some time before 6.0.  I don't recall if it's supposed to be immune or not.

Sorry if this is already discussed, I just wanted to drop in real quick and ask:

Did Marauder units always blend in with the rest of the planetary summary? They're red, the AI is red. "Got some red on red fire out here, sir." "Really?" "Oh wait, no, they're different factions."

I seem to remember them sorting last in the planetary summary, if not having a different background to further distinguish them.

Agreed, home command station should be immune. Give us a chance to defend it please. ;)

Ah, something's amiss then.  Do you have a save where a wave's about to come in, but promptly advances in retrograde?

I'll see if I can't add a bit more "deserters will be shot" fear in there.

At this time, no.  Most of my saves are quiet times.  I'll see if I can't get one for later, but I'm sure it'll be easy enough to setup.

Been dealing with issues at work this morning so I haven't been able to pay much attention to this.  I'll try to get this to you tonight if I don't end up out with friends.

That eye stuff sounds like the eyes behave like regular raid engines (i.e. even taking adjacent planets into account).

I believe the difference is they don't trigger one just a single ship, but when you double the number of AI ships.  So not as easy to trigger as a Raid Engine, but tougher to remove.

No. Theyre currently acting exactly like raid engines.

That sounds like...a pretty nasty bug.

Not trying to dispute what they are doing, just what they are supposed to :) .  I haven't met one yet.

Theyre supposed to trigger almost exactly as other eyes - only active when there are 2:1 player to ai ships in the system, but releasing a raid engine wave.

Instead, they act exactly like raid engines, with the spawning constraints of eyes.
