Random attack in 4.0

[CoyoteTheClever]

It was kind of weird because my territory was randomly invaded by 200 or so vorticular cutlasses without a wave warning or anything (The AI progress was like 50). Could this have just been border aggression or could something have hidden the wave warning or what? I really wasn't prepared and they destroyed my home command center in like a second after passing through one of my other planets and destroying it

Welcome to the forums

Did you disable wave warnings in the lobby before the game?

There have been a variety of erroneously-freed-to-attack-ships bugs in the beta, but we got all the ones we could find, and even if it was something like that it's really unlikely you'd get a swarm of a single unit type, that sounds much more like a wave.

Thanks for the welcome! 

Anyways, the wave warnings weren't disabled and I was getting wave warnings for other ships (The waves that were actually coming in during this time were only 60 or so ships and a starship), which is why  I didn't think it was a wave. All of the AI were easier types that give wave warnings, so there wasn't any problem with that either. But because it was all one ship, I didn't think it was just border aggression, which left me kind of confused.

At least the incident taught me to fear vorticular cutlasses

Possibly they were special forces ships roaming around due to special forces guard posts near you.  Do you happen to be playing against a special forces captain as one of the AIs?  If there was 0 threat before they showed up, that's what it must have been one way or the other.  If there was random threat showing, and then they showed up, then that's probably some sort of bug or something.

Or minor factions ran afoul of the Eye

That shouldn't work anymore.
