yeah, I find CPAs confusing as well. especially on snake maps, I build my defenses on the front, but nothing ever arrives... I'm sure there are tons of ships somewhere back in the ai planets that were spawned, but they aren't really ATTACKING! perhaps they should be renamed to massive interplanetary reinforcement instead.

Wait, ships spawn in a CPA? I was under the impression that existing ships where just "freed" from guarding whatever they where guarding and therefore attack your planets.

Your impression is correct, unlike waves and reinforcements CPA's are a product of existing ships being freed.

Just as a comment, playing against a Neinzul AI now, and it really pisses me off :D (in a good way). Tons of small stuff everywhere if I am not careful to place my forces and grav turrets correctly :P and the ships seems to like to swarm different planets fairly quick as well, and i have lost and rebuild a few commands already :). Been a while since I played against a Neinzul AI, but I am not sure of they used to do this before as much :)

Not sure if this is a bug or not, but one of the AI I'm playing is a Shield Ninny and it has a Zenith Power Generator on one of it's planets. Is that a capturable that's supposed to be there?

Yup. That's the normal way to acquire ZPG's, actually.

That's what I figured, I've just never seen it before.

I periodically ask Chris this question, and he periodically assures me that he has not forgotten ;)
