My units aren't attacking.

#1 Post by truepurple »

In a game a weird issue sprung up. So at one point my ships with only fighter-bay were facing off against enemy troop ships, well they were sitting in the same system for multiple turns, no attack.

So I thought, maybe You can't just attack with fighter bays? But now more instances of my ships not attacking are happening. My detection is high, facing ships that don't have good stealth, my ships don't attack, and these are armed ships this time.

So what details do you need to know? What kind of screenshot should I provide? Do you want a save of the game?

Yeah, that was the issue. Thanks.

So where does it list a units detection strength? I can only find detection distance stat. Does it use the general empire detection stat for all detecting within any range?

Also sometimes there are units on the losing side left over after battle the next turn, is that normal?

Yes. Yes; read the combat log to see what happened.
