Bombing Bug |

Hmm....
A friend of mine is having a slight problem in loosing his load upon the enemy population on a certain planet.
He has bombers in orbit (and has had for the past two turns), there is no starbase/orbital fort... The owner of the planet is set to "Enemy", and the bomber fleet is on chicken orders... although that shouldn't really have a bearing on things.
I've checked his turn, and all the other bombers that he has on other planets are doing their bit for the cause...
He's confused. I'm confused.
Has anybody else come across any bombing bugs like this? Or is there some devious reasons why this would be the case?
Hope someone can help. He is becoming quite irate at the lack of devastation.

I use different sets of orders for different scenarios. I recommend setting up specific chicken orders for bombers to attack enemies.

There should be a random modifier for the type of troops dropped on enemy planets...
I mean, you suck up all these people from one planet, happily operating factories, playing in the streets, planting flowerbeds, and looking after old ladies, then skip away to a nearby enemy planet, and they've mysteriously trained up to stormtrooper status...
Just once, I'd like to drop 100,000 hairdressers onto the planet surface, and watch them perm the enemy to death...

Just as an addendum to this subject...
I know the Battle Orders "bleed" thingy has been done to death in other threads....
...but re Bombers not bombing when set to Chicken orders....
It appears that the bombers *will* bomb if there are enemy ships present, regardless of whether or not an actual battle takes place.
Can anyone confirm this?
It certainly seems to be the case....
