My scout mk II just got killed on an enemy planet with ion cannon. When stydying the tooltips I find that they are still updated, with numbers changing, although I have got no scout on the planet any more - only its ghost is shown in the bar. This happened in the middle of a mp game, so I had no time to check up on it, but after 5-10 minutes it seemed to have stopped.
This is no big deal, possible not even somethiong you could exploit, but I guess you want to know anyway, so here it is.
