Erroneous Enemy Ship Warning
« on: August 21, 2009, 12:17:28 pm »
Good afternoon,

I seem to have two warnings that cannot be cleared.  One warning shows that there are two enemy ships present, yet there are none to be seen.  The second warning shows that there is one enemy ship present.  In the latter case I built a tachyon missile and detonated it within that system.  I found that there was one ship cloaked, but it was also being held by one of my tractor turrets.  Prior to the detonation there was no ship visible.

I'd need to see a save, but it's highly unlikely this is erroneous -- multiple people have reported this sort of thing, and it's always cloaked ships of some variety so far.  If you look at the intel summary on the galaxy map, it will tell you what kinds of ships are there.  When you detonated the tachyon missile, it revealed that other ship and so the tractor beam was able to suddenly grab it.  Before that point, the tractor beam could not grab it because it was cloaked.

It's always possible there is an error in there somewhere, but I have yet to see one with this specific subject.

Hmm..  Now that you put it that way, I understand.  I hadn't seen before the AI just hanging out with cloaked ships.  Come to think about it, I've done that before myself - just hanging out in a system while cloaked so that I can gather up position intelligence. 

I will not worry about this then as you've explained it nicely.
