Summary0022973: Idiotic Imperial Fleet
DescriptionIn a stupid turn of event, The imperial fireteam decided to... leave the home planet assieged by 8k strength of AI units rather than help fight. Multiple imperial ships continued not firing or helping till the AI kill the Homeworld. It was to the point 8 dreadnought and 8 battleships... didn't do much?

I reload a few times to see if it changed but no. The imperial fleet consider more important to send a fireteam in my backyard, hunting down a 100 strength dark spire planet, than helping with the nearly ten-thousand strength worth of AI units.

Ugh.

The Imperial Fleet should now be more willing to help out. Unfortunately I think it's too late for this game; you die within seconds of my loading it.

I used a save to go back 10 minutes in time. The Imperial fleet was more amendable to defending my homeplanet. This time I survived (though I lost most mining cities and am still waiting for the metal to come back.)

Worth noting the Spire ships perform much better at slower game-speed. The targeting speed at x1 rather than x5 speed means their firepower is between 500% and 900% stronger at normal speed. Likely this is especially bad because they have 1 second delay on their weapons, so for every second they don't shoot the damage-loss add up fast.

On a follow up note, the Fireteams might be bugged. In the second screenshot, a fireteam on Ahnit (upper zone) is supposed to be based on Padronis (selected planet) with the goal of attacking Tyrann (the AI Homeworld). What they are doing don't seem to match with the fireteam orders. They aren't alone, it seems that rather than following goals, the fireteams are wandering more or less randomly and rather conservatively. (See watchingImperial save)

On a side note, for the entire game the combined Nanocaust-Scourge-Marauders-whatever Red Team minor faction have been stuck with fighting the other AI (bottom left cluster). I noticed that even when they had 4k strength next to the AI Homeworld 1k strength they never made an attempt against the Homeworld, which eventually allowed the AI to push them back. I figure this isn't intended since there are things like Dark Spire ward on AI Homeworlds.

Please open a new bug report for this. Since this one is now tagged as "Fixed" it doesn't show up in my searches anymore.

Also I need a bit more clarity in terms of "What to look at in which save". I did try loading your WatchingImperial save but I wasn't sure what you saw as a bug in there.
